Popliteal venous aneurysms are rare vascular disorders associated with a high risk of pulmonary embolism. We present the case of a 56-year-old woman hospitalized for a third episode of unprovoked pulmonary embolism. Venous ultrasonography identified a popliteal aneurysm, repeatedly missed by two-point compression venous ultrasonography, which was eventually confirmed by a magnetic resonance examination. Because of its highly symptomatic nature despite optimal anticoagulant treatment, the decision was made to undergo surgery, consisting of aneurysmectomy followed by patch angioplasty. The goal of this paper is to report a rare case of popliteal venous aneurysm and its treatment strategies and postoperative evolution.
腘静脉动脉瘤是一种罕见的血管疾病，与肺栓塞的高风险相关。我们报告一例56岁女性患者，因第三次不明原因的肺栓塞住院。静脉超声检查发现腘动脉瘤，两点压迫静脉超声检查多次漏诊，最终经磁共振检查确诊。尽管进行了最佳抗凝治疗，但由于其症状严重，决定进行手术，包括动脉瘤切除术和补片血管成形术。本文旨在报告一例罕见的腘静脉动脉瘤病例及其治疗策略和术后演变情况。
