Özet
Objectives: rupture of the popliteal artery aneurysm is rare and may lead to serious complications if untreated. No report of a huge pseudoaneurysm following rupture of the popliteal artery aneurysm was found in the literature. Report: a huge pulsatile mass leading to deep venous thrombosis was observed in a 74-year-old male patient who had developed progressive swelling and pain in the left leg over a period of two months. Method: on angiographic evaluation, the mass was a pseudoaneurysm originating from a ruptured true aneurysm of the popliteal artery. There was a small true aneurysm in the same place on the other side. Both the false aneurysm and the true aneurysm were resected surgically and arterial continuity was established with a synthetic polytetrafluoroethylene graft. Result: patient was discharged well after three weeks and peripheral pulses were palpable.
