  To discuss the management of a patient with unilateral lower extremity pain as a consequence of a popliteal aneurysm. An 85-year-old male had difficulty in ambulating due to low back and lower extremity pain. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  At the time of diagnosis, 25 PAs were symptomatic: local pain, swelling, or "pulsation" in the popliteal groove (29%); claudication of the foot/calf (39%); critical ischemia (21%). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Most patients are asymptomatic, but the condition can present as an unusual source of fatal pulmonary embolism.2,3 Other symptomatic presentations include swelling in the popliteal fossa, local pain and the post-phlebitic syndrome. [ajol.info]

  A popliteal aneurysm may be detected during a routine exam by a doctor or occasionally as a result of localized pain or weakness in the leg, especially behind the knee or in the foot. [hubpages.com]

  Thrombosis or embolism (or rarely, aneurysm rupture) causes extremities to be painful, cold, pale, paresthetic, or pulseless. Infectious aneurysms may cause local pain, fever, malaise, and weight loss. [merckmanuals.com]

  This can become a life-threatening condition due to several reasons: Internal bleeding from the artery, resulting in significant blood loss and dropping of blood pressure. [hubpages.com]

  While aneurysms in the brain, chest and abdomen tend to burst, causing damage from internal bleeding, aneurysms in the leg are much more likely to form blood clots. They, in turn, can cause a number of complications. [nytimes.com]
