Abstract
Popliteal aneurysms commonly present with acute limb ischemia or symptoms due to compression of adjacent structures. Ruptured popliteal aneurysms are uncommon due to its superficial location leading to early diagnosis, before it reaches huge size, vulnerable for rupture. Unless there is a high index of suspicion, ruptured popliteal aneurysms may masquerade as deep vein thrombosis; sometimes a concomitant presentation due to compression of the popliteal vein. We describe a case of ruptured popliteal artery aneurysm with deep vein thrombosis and how expeditious management led to good outcome.
