“…Venous aneurysms occur equally between the sexes 5,8 or with a slight female predominance 15 . They are seen in different age groups 5,8,16 , more often on the left lower limb 15 , bilateral occurrence is possible too 4,5 . Their most frequently used diagnostic test is venography, increasingly replaced by venous duplex imaging in recent years 15,17 .…”

“…Increased use of venous duplex imaging in recent years in patients with chronic venous insufficiency leads to more frequent incidental discovery of both superficial 4 and deep venous aneurysms 20,21 , nevertheless in majority of patients with deep, especially popliteal venous aneurysms, this presented with pulmonary emboli 2,7,8,15,[22][23][24][25][26] . On the other hand, thrombembolism is less common in aneurysms involving superficial veins than those involving deep ones [3][4][5] .…”

“…2 ). Less attention has been paid to superficial venous aneurysms having thrombembolic complications less frequent [3][4][5] . Case 1. reported herein represents an interesting example of this pathology, being , in addition, very similar to popliteal vein aneurysm concerning both localization and threat of thrombembolism.…”

Background: During the last ten years we diagnosed two cases of venous aneurysm. The purpose of this report was to point out a certain risk of the thrombembolism of superficial venous aneurysms and to review our experience in the management of superficial and deep venous aneurysms.Methods: The presentation and management of these lesions were reviewed and discussed together with other cases from available literature.Results: In the first case an aneurysm of lesser saphenous vein with a possible threat of thrombembolism was revealed and surgically solved with saphena resection. Ten years after the surgery she is still symptom free. In the second case a small fusiforme popliteal vein aneurysm without any evidence of mural thrombus was diagnosed. The patient was treated conservatively with regular venous duplex imaging follow up. Two years later the disease has been stable.Conclusions: Superficial venous aneurysms can have a certain risk of the thrombembolism. Since surgical therapy is very simple, it can be recommended in all cases. Nevertheless, trombembolism is more common in deep venous aneurysms, especially popliteal ones, in which surgical repair can be based on their pathological features and presentation or can be indicated in all cases.

“…11 An obvious parallel is provided by the saphenous aneurysms, precisely occurring right after the subterminal valve. 12 Certainly, it is not possible to discover if that leaflet enlargement and hypomobility is the cause or rather the consequence of the thrombotic pressure.…”

External jugular vein (EJV) aneurysms represent a rare condition whose origin, evolution and consequent best therapeutic options still need further investigations. We present herein two peculiar clinical cases. In the first one, an EJV aneurysm developed around a malformed valve which embedded a spontaneous thrombosis. Transverse cutaneous nerve compression by the aneurysmatic mass was identified. In the second case, a recurring thrombosed EJV aneurysm was found pinched among the platysma muscle and the superficial layer of the cervical fascia. A pertinent literature review is also presented in order to interpret the findings herein never previously described.

Lower extremity superficial venous aneurysms are occasionally encountered by clinicians and are almost always located above the knee. Very few cases of aneurysm of the medial marginal vein in the most distal part, near the origin of the great saphenous vein, have been reported. We present a case of partially thrombosed aneurysm of the medial marginal vein, and briefly review the imaging characteristics and treatment options of this entity. Being aware of the existence of superficial venous aneurysms may help clinicians in their differential diagnosis of foot masses and choice of appropriate treatment.
