dc.description.abstract |
Popliteal artery entrapment syndrome (PAES) is an uncommon
cause of exercise-induced pain in the lower extremity of young
athletes. However, it might explain the symptoms of those athletes
who do not respond to treatment for the more common overuse
syndromes. We present a case of a young professional male athlete
who was diagnosed with bilateral chronic exertional compartment
syndrome (CECS), for which he was operated on twice. His
symptoms persisted for 5 years before PAES was diagnosed with
dynamic ultrasound, and after bilateral surgical release a few
months apart, he was completely symptom-free except for some
discomfort in the fasciotomy scars. |
