“Popliteal artery aneurysms (PAAs) account for approximately 70% of all peripheral artery aneurysms. Despite the exact prevalence of PAAs being unknown, it is thought to be present in about 1% of the elderly male population. Acute thrombus in a PAA can increase the risk of lower limb ischemia and amputation. We present a case documenting an incidental finding of an asymptomatic “floating” or pedunculated thrombus within a left PAA on duplex ultrasound. This thrombus resolved following a period of anticoagulation with intravenous Heparin followed by oral administration of apixaban.

Vasa nervorum are the blood vessels which supply adequate oxygen to peripheral nerves. Various vascular pathologies produce inflammatory changes compromising the blood flow through the vasa nervorum. We describe a patient with peripheral vascular disease admitted for below knee amputation who was found to have hypertrophied vasa nervorum in the ipsilateral femoral and popliteal sciatic nerves.

An infant female presented from an outside hospital with an abdominal mass, identified as renal teratoma that suffered acute kidney injury (AKI) after surgery. Teratomas are uncommon neoplasms with the kidney being the rarest in location when considering less than 5% of teratomas occur in the abdomen. In this contribution, a case is described of spasm in the left renal artery causing AKI following abdominal surgery for primary mature renal teratoma. Renal artery spasm was detected by duplex ultrasound scan as was resolution of the spasm within 2 days of initial AKI presentation.
