We report the sonographic findings of a patient with bilateral femoral artery aneurysms with concomitant bilateral deep venous thrombosis of the common femoral veins. Femoral arterial aneurysms may be associated with additional arterial aneurysms, and rarely with associated venous thrombosis. Patients presenting with femoral artery aneurysms should undergo a thorough vascular sonographic examination that includes the abdominal aorta, the iliac vessels and the deep venous system of the lower extremity. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
