The affected thigh exceeded the other in size by one-third, all the veins being immensely swelled and distorted.

The arteries were also distorted and could be felt pulsating all over the limb.

The patient died at thirty from rupture of the aneurysm.
Abbe shows a peculiar aneurysmal varix of the finger in a boy of nine.
When a babe the patient had, on the dorsum of the little finger, a small nevus, which was quiescent for many years.

He received a deep cut at the base of the thumb, and immediately after this accident the nevus began to enlarge rapidly.

But for the local aneurysmal thrill at the point of the scar the condition would have been diagnosed as angioma, but as a bruit could be heard over the entire mass it was called an aneurysmal varix, because it was believed there was a connection between a rather large artery and a vein close to the mass.
