Popliteal cystic adventitial disease: a case report and literature review

C N Parnaby et al. Scott Med J. 2011 Nov.

Abstract

Cystic adventitial disease (CAD) is rare. The popliteal artery is the most commonly affected artery. Patients with CAD are usually young and present with ischaemic lower limb symptoms. We report a case of a 39-year-old male patient with popliteal CAD. The affected segment was resected and repaired with an interposition vein graft. In conclusion, we highlight the importance of correct diagnosis and outline the different management strategies.
