Abstract: Popliteal artery entrapment syndrome (PAES) is the most frequent cause of non-atheromatous arteriopathy of the popliteal artery responsible for intermittent claudication in young subjects. Presentation of cases: We report a series of four cases treated for this entrapment syndrome at our vascular surgery department. Discussion: Through the description and analysis of this series of cases having been treated at our hospital center, we will try to define this (PAES) as well to describe its clinical, morphological, paraclinical, therapeutic and evolutionary aspects. Conclusion: (PAES) is a rare under diagnosed syndrome due to its asymptomatic character. Magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) is the gold standard for diagnosis and treatment is essentially surgical with promising results.
Keywords: Popliteal artery, entrapment syndrome, muscle hypertrophy, adults sportive, bypass.
