Isolated popliteal vein entrapment is a rare pathologic condition. Mimicking any venous pathology, a high degree of suspicion is mandatory for diagnosis. We describe a case of a 50-year-old woman, suffering from excessive swelling and heaviness of her left leg for more than 15 years. The ascending venography at functional positions of the feet demonstrated the entrapment. A rich collateral venous network appeared in the popliteal area at plantar foot's flexion. Surgical division of a wide soleus aponeurosis decompressed the vein. At the 2-year follow-up, the patient remains free of recurrence.
孤立性腘静脉受压是一种罕见的病理情况。为了做出诊断，必须高度怀疑其是否为任何静脉病理。我们描述了一位 50 岁女性的病例，她的左腿肿胀和沉重已经超过 15 年。足部功能位上行性静脉造影显示存在受压。在足跖屈时，腘窝区出现丰富的侧支静脉网络。切开宽阔的比目鱼肌肌腱膜以减压静脉。在 2 年的随访中，患者无复发。
