Popliteal artery aneurysms and popliteal phymas.
For the differential diagnosis of popliteal phymas, popliteal artery aneurysms are evaluated. They are frequent among peripheral aneurysms. However, diagnosis is difficult in some patients because clinical symptoms vary. We report 2 patients who consulted our hospital for popliteal phymas. In these patients, surgery was performed via a posterior approach. In 1 patient, reconstruction was conduc...
