Abstract

Until the introduction of ultrasound diagnostics into the clinical practice, primary diagnosis of popliteal artery aneurysm (PAA) was essentially clinical [1, 2]. However, since 1937, Theis [3] advised that when the aneurysmal sac is small, diagnosis may be difficult, as the symptoms of intermittent claudication or foot coldness may overshadow the unusual finding in the popliteal space. Wychulis et al. [4] defined the diagnosis as usually obvious on clinical examination, also for thrombosed aneurysms, the latter presenting as firm and nonpulsatile masses usually somewhat movable. Agrifoglio et al. [5] confirmed the latero-lateral passive mobility, remarking also, in patent aneurysms, the presence of a systolic bruit, substantially unchanged during proximal compression and enhanced during distal compression. Anyway, it was evident that on physical examination only, a number of PAAs, especially if small or asymptomatic or non-pulsating, risked to be missed.
