Venous aneurysms are uncommon but they can have devastating consequences, including pulmonary embolism, other thromboembolic events and death. We report six cases of venous aneurysm of the extremities, in which the first sign of presence was acute pulmonary embolism. Surgical resection is recommended whenever possible. Our experience suggests that prophylactic surgery is cautiously recommended for low-risk patients with venous aneurysms of the abdomen and strongly recommended for extremity deep and superficial venous aneurysms for their potential risk of developing thromboembolic complications despite adequate anticoagulation. Other venous aneurysms should be excised only if they are symptomatic or enlarging.

✓ A rare case of peripheral-nerve compression in the upper arm caused by a spontaneous venous aneurysm is reported. The apparent dysfunction of the median nerve led to various vain surgical explorations of the nerve at different levels. The real localization of nerve entrapment was identified by a thorough clinical examination, and sonography yielded a correct diagnosis. Surgical resection of the venous aneurysm resulted in complete relief of pain. To the authors' knowledge, this is the first report of a spontaneous venous malformation in the upper arm causing focal neuropathy.

Introduction. Venous aneurysm (VA) is a rare condition that can be presented in both superficial and deep venous system. Secondary VAs as well as pseudoaneurysms are usually caused by external spontaneous or iatrogenic trauma. They are often misdiagnosed and inadequately treated. Complications include thrombosis, phlebitis, eventual pulmonary embolism and rupture. Case report. We presented a case of secondary VA of the great saphenous vein developed in a young addict following chronic intravenous drug application in the groin region. Aneurysm required urgent surgical treatment due to bleeding complication as it was previously misdiagnosed for hematoma (or abscess) and punctuated by a general surgeon. Complete resection of VA with successful preservation of continuity of the great saphenous vein was performed. Postoperative course was uneventful. Regular venous flow through the great saphenous vein was confirmed on control ultrasound examination. Conclusion. VAs are uncommon, among them secondary VA being extremely rare. In cases with a significant diameter or threatening complications surgical treatment is recommended.
