Knee Injury, CT Scan Showed Bulge In Vein Or Artery, Advised Ortho Consultation. What Could Be Wrong?
My daughter injured her right knee during a softball game. She first had a MRI, then her family doctor called back and said they were requesting a CT Scan with the dye (IV). When I called for results today, her family doctor said the CT scan showed a slight buldge in a vein or artery in her knee and is sending her to an Ortho. She could not tell me what this could be, only that it could be post-tramatic, which I don t understand. Coulkd you give me any other suggestions on what could be wrong?

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The swelling of a blood vessel in the knee could be due to the trauma that she had. An aneurysm needs to be ruled out.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
