    Abstract:
    Popliteal artery entrapment syndrome (PAES) is a rare congenital vascular pathology caused by the compression of the popliteal artery by adjacent muscle and tendinous structures. Popliteal artery aneurysm associated with this syndrome is extremely rare. A 45-year-old male suffering from pain at the right lower extremity during exercise was admitted to our hospital. Physical examination and Doppler imaging revealed a weak pulse at the posterior tibial artery and no pulse at dorsalis pedis and anterior tibial arteries. The patient was further evaluated with multidetector computed tomography angiography (MDCTA). MDCTA revealed PAES due to compression of the accessory fibers of the gastrocnemius muscle and related thrombosed popliteal aneurysm.
