| | Popliteal Artery Entrapment Syndrome: A Case Report |
| | Popliteal artery entrapment is described in the literature as being due to external compression of the popliteal artery by a congenital anomalous relationship to the gastrocnemius muscle. | | | This entrapment may also occur by way of an accessory muscle situated between the medial femoral condylus to the medial gastrocnemius muscle. | | | Alternative methods have been described in the literature such as contrast arteriography and radionuclide angiography. |
