Popliteal artery false aneurysm secondary to tibial osteochondroma.

tumours of growth plate origin. Although vascular complications of these are rare, the most commonly reported is a popliteal artery pseudoaneurysm. Most pseudoaneurysms have been related to femoral osteochondromas, with only 3 previous reports of a popliteal pseudoaneurysm secondary to a tibial exostosis. We report a case of a popliteal pseudoaneurysm secondary to a tibial osteochondroma and di...

Posterior tibial artery aneurysm in a child with SMAD3 mutation

Peripheral arterial aneurysms in children are uncommon. We report a 6-year-old boy who developed a right posterior tibial artery aneurysm with symptoms including pain and pulsatile tenderness. His genetic testing revealed a SMAD3 mutation, a condition associated with familial aortic aneurysm, early-onset of osteoarthritis, and peripheral aneurysms. The posterior tibial artery aneurysm was treat...
