ABSTRACT
Cystic degeneration of the popliteal artery is an uncommon cause of intermittent claudication. We report a 52 years old male consulting for intermittent claudication referred to the calf. The angiography showed a 93% stenosis in segment of 45 mm length of the left popliteal artery with a smooth surface, suggesting an extrinsic compression. A CT angiography of the lower limb suggested the presence of a cystic degeneration. The patient was operated and the middle third of the popliteal artery was excised. The pathological study of the surgical piece was informed as artery media cystic degeneration.
