Description
Summary:This report highlights the case of cystic adventitial disease of the left popliteal artery in a 45‐year‐old male patient. Imaging modalities confirmed the diagnosis and high resolution MRI found a cystic connection to the adjacent knee joint. The evolution was unusual with spontaneous regression of the symptoms. Spontaneous symptoms regression is rare, with few reported cases. The authors suggest starting with conservative treatment in no significant symptomatic cases. MRI angiography could reveal clearly the cystic connection with the knee joint.
