A Rare Case of Painful Thrombosed Great Saphenous Vein Aneurysm in a Young Male

Abstract

Primary venous aneurysms are uncommon solitary dilatation of a vein that can occur throughout the venous system. Superficial venous aneurysms of the lower extremities are more often reported as esthetically displeasing bulges or incidental findings and are asymptomatic. A painful primary venous aneurysm is an extremely rare clinical entity. We report a case of painful thrombosed venous aneurysm of the great saphenous vein in a young male and managed surgically.
