A case of pulmonary embolism secondary to a clinically unsuspected aneurysm of the popliteal vein is presented. The importance of venography in establishing the source of pulmonary emboli is stressed in comparison to other diagnostic investigations such as ultrasonography, computed tomography or pletysmography. The aneurysm was suitable for local venous reconstruction. Previously reported cases are reviewed, etiology, diagnosis and treatment of this uncommon condition are discussed.
本文报告一例继发于临床未怀疑的腘静脉动脉瘤的肺栓塞病例。与超声检查、计算机断层扫描或体积描记法等其他诊断检查相比，强调了静脉造影在确定肺栓塞来源方面的重要性。该动脉瘤适合进行局部静脉重建。回顾了先前报道的病例，讨论了这种罕见疾病的病因、诊断和治疗。
