Abstract:
Popliteal artery entrapment syndrome is a rare and underdiagnosed cause of claudication in young adult. The typical clinical feature is calf claudication; the following case reports describe 2 rare clinical aspects, acute limb ischemia and pulsatile mass revealing a bilateral anatomic entrapment. These cases suggest that an early diagnosis is mandatory to avoid a dramatic clinical outcome and to limit the surgical treatment to a myotomy.
