Abstract
Treatment of this unusual condition seems to be mandatory for major thromboembolic events can be as high as 71% with 2 deaths, according to a review of 24 patients with popliteal vein aneurysms. Unlike proximal veins, where reconstruction is advisable, calf vein aneurysms can be safely managed by simple excision and ligature. In our patient, aneurysm resection eliminated symptoms, and good result was maintained in long follow-up.
