  • Title: Popliteal entrapment syndrome: non-invasive diagnosis and complete recovery after surgery in an 11-year-old boy.
    Author: Schwarz T, Schellong SM, Neumann U, Traut H, Daniel WG.
    Journal: Pediatr Radiol; 1999 Feb; 29(2):109-11. PubMed ID: 9933330.
    Abstract:
    We present an unusual case of popliteal entrapment syndrome type I in an 11-year-old boy. Presenting symptoms were exercise-related pain and pallor in his left lower leg. The diagnosis of popliteal entrapment syndrome was established by acral plethysmography, colour-coded Doppler sonography and MRI. After myotomy of the gastrocnemius muscle the symptoms resolved completely. Post-operative duplex scan showed normal blood flow, even in plantar flexion of the foot.
