Department of Surgery, American University of Beirut-Medical Center, Lebanon.

A pseudoaneurysm was diagnosed by ultrasound of popliteal fossa in a 40-year-old female following arthroscopic meniscectomy. The patient was treated successfully with a reversed saphenous vein graft (SVG). This case is used to review the literature concerning the complications of arthroscopic meniscectomy.
