Abstract: ISHIBASHI, S., NAMIKI, K., ABE, M., SHIRAHATA, Y., OHNISHI, K., TOYODA, T. and OHUCHI, K. Cystic Adventitial Disease of the Popliteal Artery-A Case of Young Boy. Tohoku J. Exp. Med., 1995, 176 (3), 173-180-Cystic adventitial disease (CAD) of the popliteal artery (PA) is rare but one of the well-recognized causes of intermittent claudication. Now more than 200 case reports are available in the world, but there are only 6 cases younger than 15 years old. In this paper, we report a case of 14-year-old boy with CAD of the PA found by intermittent claudication. On examination, the pulses were not palpable below the right popliteal artery, and the angiography demonstrated about 1.5 cm-long obstruction of the right PA. We operated a resection of a cyst with artery, and replaced the autovein graft (V. saphena magna). Cyst contained mucoid degeneration-like ganglion. Two weeks after operation, the angiography showed no stenotic lesion, and follow-up at 4 years showed no symptoms.
