Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is rarely associated with aneurysms. We have described a patient with a popliteal artery aneurysm that was associated with TSC and occlusion of the right posterior tibial artery. The patient underwent aneurysm resection and vein graft replacement, with an uneventful postoperative course and no recurrence at 11 months of follow-up. Patients with TSC could have aneurysms in areas that will not be recognized on abdominal imaging. Physical examination of the lower extremities should be performed owing to the possibility of a popliteal artery aneurysm, and imaging studies should be performed if an aneurysm is suspected.
结节性硬化症(TSC)很少与动脉瘤相关。我们描述了一名患有腘动脉瘤的患者,该动脉瘤与TSC以及右胫后动脉闭塞有关。患者接受了动脉瘤切除术和静脉移植置换术,术后过程顺利,随访11个月无复发。TSC患者的动脉瘤可能出现在腹部影像学检查无法识别的部位。由于存在腘动脉瘤的可能性,应进行下肢体格检查,若怀疑有动脉瘤则应进行影像学检查。
