popliteal artery entrapment syndrome(English)

• an uncommon entity typically affecting young athletic males who present with symptoms of calf claudication. It is caused by an anomalous relationship of muscle and artery in the popliteal fossa resulting in extrinsic arterial compression. Repetitive insult to the popliteal artery can cause arterial damage and lead to aneurysm, thromboembolism, and arterial thrombosis. This aggressive natural history warrants early diagnosis and treatment
