Abstract

Venous aneurysms are uncommon and can involve the entire venous system and occur at any age. The presence of these aneurysmal formations at the level of the saphenous vein junction is rarely reported, given the small number of cases described in the literature. We report the case of a 41-year-old patient with an aneurysm in the saphenofemoral junction of the right great saphenous vein, discovered incidentally during a consultation for varicose veins of the right lower limb.

Keywords

aneurysm; great saphenous vein; saphenous vein junction

Resumo

Os aneurismas venosos são raros, podendo envolver todo o sistema venoso e ocorrer em qualquer idade. A presença dessas formações aneurismáticas no nível da junção da veia safena magna é raramente relatada, dado o pequeno número de casos descritos na literatura. Relatamos o caso de um paciente de 41 anos com um aneurisma na junção safenofemoral da veia safena magna direita, descoberto incidentalmente durante uma consulta para varizes do membro inferior direito.

Palavras-chave
