Venous aneurysm, a rare venous anomaly, poses increased risk of distal thromboembolic event. Superficial venous aneurysm, such as greater saphenous vein aneurysm, is an uncommon subset with nonspecific symptoms and often a delay in diagnosis. Symptomatic patients or patients with a thromboembolic event may benefit from surgical intervention with low morbidity. This case report describes an isolated spontaneous greater saphenous vein aneurysm which was successfully ligated and resected for symptomatic relief and prevention of distal thromboembolism.
静脉瘤是一种罕见的静脉异常，会增加远端血栓栓塞事件的风险。浅表静脉瘤，如大隐静脉瘤，是一个不常见的子集，症状不具特异性，诊断往往延迟。有症状的患者或发生血栓栓塞事件的患者可能从低发病率的手术干预中获益。本病例报告描述了一例孤立的自发性大隐静脉瘤，该瘤成功结扎并切除，以缓解症状并预防远端血栓栓塞。
