The usual imaging requested for a patient with knee pain is MRI to examine ligaments and menisci mainly as well as articular cartilage and other extra articular structures, popliteal fossa lesions rarely causing alarming knee pain, the most common cystic lesion seen in the popliteal fossa is Baker's cyst, popliteal US with Doppler assessment is mandatory for popliteal fossa cystic lesions to exclude aneurysmal sacs; asAs true popliteal artery aneurysm is rare; this case is mostly pseudo aneurysm may be due to unnoticed trivial trauma in this cirrhotic patient, CTA is the best imaging modality even for a medico legal aspect. endovascular coiling is the treatment of choice.
