title: [Popliteal artery entrapment syndrome. Case report of an 11-year-old boy].
abstract: The popliteal entrapment syndrome arises due to a compression of the popliteal artery by tendomuscular structures often combined with an anomal position of the artery. Mostly young men are complaining of this disease. We report about an eleven-year old boy, who had an interview with us because of acute ischaemic symptoms in the left shank. We ensured a popliteal entrapment syndrome type I by Kogel. By a dorsal approach to the fossa poplitea we performed the myotomy and the restoration of the artery into the normal position. Eight month postoperative the boy is without any complaint. In doppler-scan we record an normal arterial flow.
