Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Pediatric Cardiology
  • Anatomical Pathology

Background:

  • Popliteal artery entrapment syndrome (PAES) is a rare congenital anomaly.
  • It predominantly affects young, active individuals, leading to potential limb ischemia.
  • Early diagnosis and intervention are crucial to prevent severe complications.

Observation:

  • A 14-year-old male presented with symptoms of acute limb-threatening ischemia.
  • Clinical examination and diagnostic imaging revealed entrapment of the popliteal artery.
  • The patient required immediate surgical intervention to restore blood flow.

Findings:

  • The case details the specific anatomical pathology causing the popliteal artery entrapment.
  • Diagnostic challenges and the chosen surgical approach are discussed.

  • Successful surgical management averted limb loss in this young patient.

    • Implications:

    • This case underscores the importance of considering PAES in young patients with acute limb ischemia.
    • Prompt surgical repair is vital for limb salvage in PAES.
    • Understanding the varied presentations of PAES aids in timely diagnosis and treatment.
