Late popliteal artery pseudoaneurysm mimicking deep vein thrombosis: Two case reports

Popliteal artery pseudoaneurysm (PAP) is a rare condition. They are clinically characterized by pain and swelling. Deep vein thrombosis should be considered in the differential diagnosis. Herein, we presented two cases who were admitted to our clinic with pain and swelling in left their lower extremities late following orthopedic knee surgery. Both patients had a positive Homans" sign on physical examination. Color Doppler ultrasound, which was performed due to suspected deep vein thrombosis, revealed a giant pseudoaneurysm in the popliteal arteries in both patients.
