    Author: Zaghloul R, Naouli H, Bouarhroum A.
    Journal: Ann Vasc Surg; 2015 Nov; 29(8):1662.e7-11. PubMed ID: 26315789.
    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.
