Abstract:

Vascular cystic adventitious degeneration (CAD) is a rare disease of unclear etiology that affects mainly the popliteal artery (up to 85—90% of cases). Clinical manifestations are similar to aneurysm of the popliteal artery. CAD occurs mainly in males of the 4th and 5th decades of life (range 10—77 years). These patients usually have no risk factors of cardiovascular diseases. Unilateral symptoms prevail. We report a review and a 46-year-old patient with CAD of the popliteal artery.

Keywords:

cystic degeneration
aneurysm
