We report a rare case of lower limb swelling due to compression of the superficial femoral vein by a solitary deep femoral artery aneurysm. The patient was a 58-year-old man presenting with acute swelling of the right lower limb caused by deep venous thrombosis. A multi-detector computed tomographic scan (CT) confirmed the diagnosis of a deep femoral artery aneurysm and revealed no evidence of aneurysms or occlusive lesions in the other arteries. Aneurysmectomy and ligation of the deep femoral artery were successfully performed. Preoperative multi-detector CT scanning is a valuable, non-invasive diagnostic tool to delineate not only the state of the aneurysm, but also that of the distal arterial tree. |
