Abstract
The authors report two cases of primary popliteal venous aneurysm. Thi s condition is rare. The lesion may be clinically asymptomatic and may remain unrecognised since it is discovered most often during the inve stigation of thrombo-embolic complications. The diagnosis is based upo n ultrasonography and phlebography. Asymptomatic forms should merely b e monitored. Apart from anticoagulants, the treatment of symptomatic f orms is surgical. Methods remain controversial.
