Giant popliteal artery aneurysm is an uncommon entity. If untreated, it results in life-threatening complications. It is usually seen in older patients (over 60 years of age), and atherosclerotic disease is its main cause. Few cases have been reported in young adults, and its incidence in teenagers is exceptionally rare, with scarce case reports in the literature. We report a case of left popliteal artery aneurysm in a 16-year-old and its successful surgical treatment through resection and repair with a synthetic interposition graft.
巨大腘动脉瘤是一种罕见的疾病。如果不进行治疗,会导致危及生命的并发症。它通常见于老年患者(60岁以上),动脉粥样硬化疾病是其主要病因。在年轻成年人中报道的病例较少,在青少年中的发病率极为罕见,文献中仅有少量病例报告。我们报告一例16岁男性左腘动脉瘤病例,并通过人工血管移植切除修复术成功进行了手术治疗。
