Abstract
Popliteal vein aneurysms (PVAs) are rare but may cause severe and even fatal complications, such as pulmonary embolism (PE). A woman at the eighth week of pregnancy came to our attention because of a thrombosis of a previously undetected left PVA, diagnosed after a PE episode. Surgery was delayed until after delivery and breastfeeding, during which anticoagulant therapy was established.
