Multidetector CT angiography in spontaneous popliteal artery dissection.
Primary dissection of the femoropopliteal or popliteal arteries is rare in the absence of involvement of the aorta or aneurysmal arterial changes. In this report, we present multidetector CT angiography findings of a case of a spontaneous nonaneurysmal dissection limited to the left popliteal artery in an otherwise healthy 40-year-old woman.
