Adventitial cystic disease of the popliteal artery is an unusual condition of uncertain etiology, in which a mucin-containing cyst forms in the wall of the artery and produces lower extremity claudication, typically in young and middle-aged men. A diagnosis of adventitial cystic disease of the popliteal artery was made preoperatively in a 47-year-old man by means of several imaging modalities, including angiography, magnetic resonance imaging, and ultrasound. The pathological findings confirmed the suggested diagnosis.

Adventitial cystic disease (ACD), a rare vascular disease characterized by mucus accumulation in the adventitia of blood vessels, typically affects the popliteal artery. We present the case of a 61-year-old female diagnosed with ACD in 2018 who was initially treated with endovascular stenting and percutaneous aspiration of the cyst. The patient, who had been asymptomatic for 5 years, developed a stent fracture and pseudoaneurysm requiring surgical intervention.

Article Synopsis
  • A 67-year-old woman experienced leg pain due to severe popliteal artery stenosis caused by a popliteal ganglion cyst.
  • After opting out of vein bypass surgery, the patient was successfully treated with ultrasound-guided aspiration of the cyst, restoring normal blood flow.
  • This case is notable as it is the first reported instance where ganglion cyst aspiration successfully relieved claudication caused by a compressed popliteal artery, highlighting a new treatment option for cystic adventitial disease.
