Mycoplasma pneumoniae induced popliteal artery thrombosis treated with urokinase.

A 5 year old boy with serological and clinical evidence of Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection, which was complicated by popliteal artery thrombosis, is described. Intra-arterial urokinase, in conjunction with medical treatment, resulted in clinical recovery and angiographic resolution of the thrombus.

Popliteal vein thrombosis associated with femoral osteochondroma and popliteal artery pseudoaneurysm.

Deep vein thrombosis is a common condition thought to be caused by impaired venous blood flow or hypercoagulable blood states. However, often no predisposing cause can be found. We describe a deep vein thrombosis formed in association with femoral osteochondroma and popliteal artery pseudoaneurysm. It is an interesting combination that has only been described once before.

Popliteal artery pseudoaneurysm successfully treated with amplatzer vascular plug.

Popliteal artery pseudoaneurysm is uncommon. They usually result from penetrating or blunt trauma, arterial reconstructive surgery, invasive diagnostic or surgical orthopedic procedures. They can cause arterial thrombosis and limb ischeamia. We report a 53 year old Chinese gentleman with popliteal artery pseudoaneurysm who presented with right lower limb numbness and paralysis in toes extension...

Case report: Bilateral Popliteal Artery Thrombosis from Traumatic Knee Dislocation

Knee dislocations are a relatively uncommon occurrence in the trauma patient. However, sequelae may be disastrous if this condition and its complications are not recognized early. Perhaps the most significant complication is popliteal artery injury, occurring in 10-32% of knee dislocations (1). This frequent complication can result in amputation (3,6,16). Popliteal artery injury from knee dislo...
