| Popis: |
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. |
