Successful surgical management of a ruptured popliteal artery aneurysm with acute common peroneal nerve neuropathy: A rare case.

CONCLUSIONS: Our modified open surgical repair can relieve the compression and prevent possible "type II endoleak" without dissecting in popliteal fossa. Acute common peroneal nerve neuropathy and foot drop are reversible with immediate removal of compression and glucocorticoid therapy for patients with ruptured popliteal artery aneurysm.
