| Popis: | Popliteal vein aneurysms are rare but they have clinical relevance because of their propensity to cause thromboembolic complications. The widespread use of duplex scanning in the work-up of venous complaints will make their diagnosis increasingly frequent. Surgical therapy cures the disease with low morbidity. We present a typical case and review pertinent literature on the subject. |
