Su incidencia se desconoce. Posee un patrón característico de presentación que corresponde a personas del sexo masculinos, mayores de 65 años, con múltiples comorbilidades, donde la hipertensión arterial representa la más frecuente. La definición de aneurisma corresponde a una dilatación del 50 % del diámetro del vaso, en el caso de la arteria poplítea, mayor de 1,5 cm. El 50 % de los aneurismas poplíteos resulta asintomático, el resto presenta síntomas isquémicos (trombosis, embolismos periféricos), compresivos y la ruptura. El tratamiento es quirúrgico: convencional (vías medial-posterior) y endovascular. El objetivo del artículo fue presentar este caso por la infrecuencia del aneurisma de la arteria poplítea unilateral. Se trata de un paciente masculino de 62 años, con aumento de volumen localizado a nivel de la fosa poplítea izquierda con latido y expansión a la palpación, diámetro transversal aproximado de 3 cm y longitudinal de 4 cm, presencia de soplo sistólico a la auscultación con diagnóstico ecográfico y arteriográfico de aneurisma de la arteria poplítea izquierda. La evolución del paciente fue satisfactoria y se mantiene bajo seguimiento médico para evaluar la permeabilidad del injerto sintético.]]></p></abstract>

Its incidence is unknown. It has a characteristic presentation pattern that corresponds to male people, over 65 years of age, with multiple comorbidities, where arterial hypertension represents the most frequent. The definition of aneurysm corresponds to a dilation of 50% of the diameter of the vessel, in the case of the popliteal artery, greater than 1.5 cm. 50% of popliteal aneurysms are asymptomatic, the rest have ischemic symptoms (thrombosis, peripheral embolisms), compression and rupture. Treatment is surgical: conventional (medial-posterior pathways) and endovascular. The objective of the article was to present this case due to the infrequency of the unilateral popliteal artery aneurysm. This is a 62-year-old male patient, with localized volume increase at the level of the left popliteal fossa with heartbeat and expansion on palpation, approximate transverse diameter of 3 cm and longitudinal diameter of 4 cm, presence of systolic murmur at auscultation with ultrasound and arteriographic diagnosis of aneurysm of the left popliteal artery. The patient's evolution was satisfactory and he remains under medical follow-up to evaluate the permeability of the synthetic graft.]]></p></abstract>
