Abstract
Popliteal cystic adventitial disease is a rare arterial condition
characterised by mucinous cyst formation in the adventitia of the popliteal
artery producing stenosis or occlusion of the arterial lumen. It
predominantly affects males and typically presents in the thirties with
disabling intermittent calf claudication. Because of the demographic it
affects it is of relevance to military medical practitioners. We present
such a case and describe the presentation, clinical features, differential
diagnoses and imaging findings as well as the theories surrounding
pathogenesis, clinical management and surgical treatment options.
