Cystic Adventitial Disease of the Popliteal Artery Causing Intermittent Exertional Claudication in a Young Male Athlete

Abstract: Cystic adventitial disease (CAD) is a rare disease entity of unknown origin most commonly affecting the popliteal artery. It typically occurs in otherwise healthy, middleaged male patients, causing symptoms of sudden-onset progressive intermittent claudication. Cystic adventitial disease has been well studied in the vascular literature since the disease was first defined in 1947. 1,3,7 However, the vast majority of these cases have been older patients who do not participate in significant athletic activity. 4,… Show more

“…ACD of the venous system frequently presents with unilateral lower extremity swelling, groin mass and pain, and occasionally DVT is present. [1][2][3][4]9 Imaging is often obtained in diagnostic evaluation and includes ultrasound, CT, and magnetic resonance imagining (MRI). Appropriately, ultrasound is commonly the initial study and may demonstrate a single or multiple thin-walled fl uid-fi lled cysts of the vessel wall.…”
