Abstract

Popliteal artery entrapment syndrome is a rare disorder and lead to claudication and disturbance of blood flow from the results of an abnormal relationship of the popliteal artery to the gastrocnemius muscle, a fibrous band or the popliteus muscle in a young male population. The specific diagnosis is difficult, In most cases, surgical treatment provides a definitive diagnosis of the lesion and is necessary for the patient's recovery. A 34-years-old male was admitted complaining of claudication and pain on left leg. Ankle-brachial index, vascular sonography, CT-angiogram and MRI revealed an occlusion of proximal popliteal artery of left leg. The patient was confirmed as a popliteal artery entrapment syndrome (type IV) that the popliteal artery was entrapped by a fibrous band around the popliteus muscle in the operative fold. Completely occluded fibrotic popliteal artery was removed, and interposition with ipsilateral greater saphenous vein graft was done. After surgery, symptoms of the patient have improved.

슬와동맥 포착증후군은 젊은 남성군에서 슬와동맥과 비복근, 섬유띠, 슬와근 간의 이상 관계로 하지의 파행과 혈류 장애를 유발하는 드문 질환이다. 명확한 진단이 어려우며, 대부분의 경우 수술적 치료가 병변의 결정적인 진단을 제공하며, 환자의 회복에 필수적이다. 34세 남자가 좌측 하지의 파행과 동통을 주소로 입원하였다. 상하지 지수, 혈관 초음파, 전산화 단층 혈관 조영술, 자기 공명 영상 검사상 좌측 슬와동맥 근위부의 폐쇄소견이 관찰되었다. 환자는 수술장에서 슬와동맥이 슬와근 주변의 섬유띠에 의해 둘러 싸여 폐쇄된 4형 슬와동맥 포착증후군으로 확인되었다. 완전히 폐쇄된 슬와동맥을 제거하고 동측의 대복재정맥을 이용한 치환 수술을 시행하였다. 수술 후 환자의 증상은 호전되었다.
