Abstract

The authors report on a case of a patient having several unexplained pulmonary embolisms. A phlebologic and phlebographic exam make it possible to diagnose an aneurysmal dilatation of the popliteal vein as the cause of the thrombo-embolic problems. Cure was obtained through the resection of this venous ectasia.
