Abstract
Introduction: The incidence of venous aneurysm is less than the arterial aneurysms. The knowledge of Popliteal vein aneurysm (PVA) is important as it could be a source of pulmonary embolism, deep vein thrombosis and so could be fatal. PVA could be an incidental finding during the investigations for pulmonary embolism or chronic venous insufficiency.
Case Report: We report a case of left popliteal vein aneurysm in the popliteal fossa in a 65-year-old female cadaver observed during routine dissection. A large saccular dilatation was noted in the left popliteal vein in the distal part of the popliteal fossa. The right popliteal vein was normal.
Conclusion: An early diagnosis of PVA with doppler ultrasound examination is important to prevent the occurrence of any thromboembolic events or other major complications.
