ABSTRACT
The popliteal vein aneurysm is a rare condition that can lead to local symptoms, thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. We report the case of a 67 years old, otherwise healthy white male, who presented to us with localised swelling and pain in the left popliteal fossa. Duplex ultrasound and venography were obtained, confirming the diagnosis of popliteal vein aneurysm. The patient underwent tangential aneurysmectomy and lateral venorrhaphy, recovery was uneventful remaining asymptomatic. The reconstruction was demonstrated patent on a duplex scan. The popliteal vein aneurysm is a potentially fatal condition for which surgical treatment is recommended
