Résumé :

A forty-six-year-old, non smoker, patient presented with an intermittent claudication of the right calf, clinically compatible with a low popliteal artery obliteration. Arteriography showed an irregular intercondylar popliteal artery and oblitered low popliteal and anterior tibial arteries. Surgical posterior access showed a faulty insertion of the mediate gastrocnemius caput responsible for popliteal artery entrapment syndrome and for aneurysmal dilatation of the popliteal artery above compression. As far as we know, this form of popliteal artery entrapment syndrome has not been published yet.
