Introduction Two years later she presented with acute chest pain and dyspnoea. Ventilation/perfusion scintigraphy Pulmonary embolism frequently results from deep showed a high probability for pulmonary embolism (Fig. 1(B)). Duplex sonography revealed a largely venous thrombosis. For both conditions anticoagulation is the recommended treatment. We report thrombosed venous aneurysm and the findin...

Venous aneurysms are rare entities observed in neck, thorax, extremity, and abdominal veins. Although the exact etiology is unknown, trauma to vessel wall, inflammation, congenital anomalies, and local degenerative changes are implicated. Venous aneurysms may be thrombosed and lead to thromboembolic events, acute pulmonary embolism, and death. Resection of the aneurysm is the general preferred ...

BACKGROUND: Venous aneurysms are rare vascular pathology. They were first described by Sir Wiliam Osler in 1915 and thereafter Harris 1928. Aneurysm on greater saphenous vein is mostly asymptomatic or they responsible for no more than local discomfort, pain, tenderness it detected when patients referred the treatment evaluation of a femoral inguinal hernia soft-tissue masses. CASE PRESENTATION:...

A saccular superior vena cava aneurysm is a rare venous aneurysm that presents as mediastinal mass lesions. An evaluation using contrast-enhanced computed tomography is indispensable for the diagnosis.

The primary superficial venous aneurysms of the foot are very rare. A 34-year-old female patient developed a dorsal foot mass during the second trimester of pregnancy with no history of previous trauma, puncture, or infection. One year later, she was referred to the surgical department for excision of "foot hygroma." Based on the clinical findings, the venous aneurysm was suspected and duplex u...

BACKGROUND Intravenous cannulation is a very common procedure. Venous aneurysm secondary to peripheral intravenous cannulation is extremely rare. Moreover, venous aneurysm can mimic other conditions and may confuse the issue. CASE PRESENTATION We describe a case of a 45-year-old woman who was referred with the diagnosis of varicose vein of right arm. A history of intravenous cannulation at th...

Background: Hughes-Stovin Syndrome (HSS) is a rare clinical disorder characterized by deep venous thrombosis and multiple pulmonary and/or bronchial aneurysms. Aneurysms in systemic circulation can also be seen. Case presentation: We report the first case of HSS with aortic aneurysm in a 55-year-old man who initially presented with deep venous thrombosis. The diagnosis of HSS revealing Beh&cce...

Venous aneurysms (VAs) have been described in quite of all the major veins. They represent uncommon events but often life-threatening because of pulmonary or paradoxical embolism. We describe our twelve patients' series with acute pulmonary emboli due to venous aneurysm thrombosis. Our experience underlines the importance of a multilevel case-by-case approach and the immediate venous lower limb...

PURPOSE To define the diagnostic precision of non-specialized readers in the detection of type 2 endoleaks (T2EL) in arterial versus venous phase acquisitions, and to evaluate an approach for radiation dose reduction. METHODS The pre-discharge and final follow-up multi-slice CT angiographies of 167 patients were retrospectively analyzed. Image data were separated into an arterial and a venous...

Venous aneurysms often present as painful masses. They can present either in the deep or superficial venous system. Deep venous system aneurysms have a greater risk of thromboembolism. Though rare, there have been case reports of superficial aneurysms and thrombus causing significant morbidity such as pulmonary embolism. We present a case of an anomalous greater saphenous vein connection with a...
