Uncommon diseases of the popliteal artery include cystic adventitial disease, popliteal artery entrapment syndrome (PAES) and popliteal artery aneurysm (PAA). The etiology of a cystic adventitial disease is not known, but direct communication between a joint and a cyst is considered to be the source of the disease. If you have adventitial cystic disease, you may feel: Pain or heaviness in your legs or behind the knee especially when you walk or exercise. Clinically, the most common presenting symptom is claudication. The etiology of CAD is unclear; however, the direct communication between a cyst and a joint is presumed to be a cause. In this report, we present a case of a 52 years old man with thrombosis of popliteal artery which recanalized spon - taneously a year later. Proximal to the stenosis (a), monophasic low-velocity (23 cm/s) high-resistance spectrum is demonstrated. CAD causes cystic degeneration of peripheral arteries; however, rarely, veins can also be involved (2). In most cases, the pain will slowly go away when you stop moving.

Adventitial cystic disease is a rare, but well-character-ized, vascular disease. Blurring of vessel margins is also a common problem to be considered. Case. The disease is most likely to occur in young and middle-aged men. This disease most frequently occurs in young or middle-aged male patients with male/female ratio of 5/1 (1). Cystic adventitial disease often affects individuals in the fourth and fifth decade of life; however, it has been reported in individuals ranging from 10 to 77 years of age. The duration of symptoms is generally relatively short (weeks to months). Nevertheless, overestimation of the vessel area can be expected. Published 03 Mar 2018. [] It is an important treatable cause of vascular disease in non-smokers because it can be readily diagnosed with the currently available imaging … Patients with cystic adventitial disease of the peripheral arteries often present for evaluation of soft-tissue masses involving the extremities. Cystic adventitial disease (CAD) of the popliteal artery is an uncommon cause of intermittent claudication in young patients. We describe a 44-year-old man with rapid onset of severe intermittent claudication who is currently undergoing conservative follow-up. Cystic adventitial disease (CAD) is a rare cause of intermittent claudication and nonatherosclerotic conditions in middle-aged men without cardiovascular risk factors. Adventitial cystic disease (ACD) is an uncommon and rare vascular entity characterized by a highly viscous and mucinous cyst located in the adventitia of an artery. Cystic adventitial disease of the popliteal artery . However, the claudication suddenly improved at 5 weeks after onset. Diagnosis certain. (2) Cystic adventitial disease is located within the popliteal artery 85-90% of the time, and is usually unilateral. The etiology remains controversial and several treatment methods have been described. 1 It is a rare condition which accounts for 0.08% of presentations of calf claudication. Etiology of CAD is uncertain and currently without a consensus agreement. Cystic adventitial disease most commonly affects popliteal artery and is a rare cause of intermittent claudication in middle-aged non-smoking men. Diagnosis probable. (1) Since then, more than 350 cases have been reported. CT. Case. Adventitial Cystic Disease Symptoms. Cystic angiomatosis. Abstract: Cystic adventitial disease (CAD) is a rare vascular disorder that involves the arteries and rarely the veins, most commonly found in the popliteal artery of male patients. Adventitial cystic disease of the popliteal artery is an uncommon pathology that should be considered in differential diagnostic of younger patients with intermittent claudication and without risk factors for peripheral atherosclerotic arterial disease. : 3 Department of Radiology, Sam Hospital, Anyang 430-015, Korea. 3-5 The disease may occasionally manifest as a mass lesion in other vascular sites, but the popliteal artery is the most frequently involved vessel and accounts for 85% of reported cases. Cystic adventitial disease (CAD) of the popliteal artery with spontaneous regression is rare. Cystic adventitial disease (CAD) is a rare vascular disorder, predominantly seen in young healthy men with minimal cardiovascular risk factors. Patients are usually young and without risk fac-tors for atherosclerosis. CAD was diagnosed, and resection of the lesion with autologous vein replacement was scheduled. Dr Christof Igler. Figure 1. ac. Diagnosis certain. Cystic adventitial disease (CAD) is a rare vascular disorder. MRI. Cystic adventitial disease (CAD) is a very rare vascular disorder with prevalence as low as 1:1000 of all vascular pathologies (1). Published 20 Jun 2013. Cystic adventitial disease of the popliteal artery is a rare disease that usually mani-fests with intermittent claudicat - ing. Cystic adventitial disease is a rare condition that usually affects the popliteal artery, and is a rare cause of non-atherosclerotic stenosis. The symptoms of adventitial cystic disease are leg pain or heaviness brought on by walking or exercising. The cyst can narrow or block the affected artery. The popliteal artery is most often involved, leading to symptoms of lower extremity claudication. Diagnostic imaging workup revealed a cystic mass that extended within and encased the radial artery. : 2 Department of Radiology, Gachon University Gil Hospital, Incheon 405-760, Korea. Delayed diagnosis can lead to major complications, including acute limb … Adventitial cystic disease is a rare type of peripheral vascular disease in which a fluid-filled sac called a cyst forms next to the artery and blocks blood flow.. Cystic adventitial disease is a rare condition that usually affects the popliteal artery, and is a rare cause of non-atherosclerotic stenosis. For sure, this might lead to incorrect estimation of extension of cystic adventitial disease of the popliteal artery. Cystic adventitial disease is an uncommon condition that was first observed in the external iliac artery. MRI Ultrasound. Conventional angiography has traditionally been the study of choice for diagnosing this disease, but it has recently been suggested that MR imaging is equal in its diagnostic capability (1). Cramps in the legs. Symptoms of Adventitial Cystic Disease. Adventitial cystic disease is a rare disease that occurs when a cyst filled with a mucus-like substance forms in one of the arteries, most commonly in the popliteal artery, which supplies blood to the knee joint and thigh and calf muscles. 95% complete. Atkins and Key first described its effect on the external iliac artery in 1947. Etiology of CAD is uncertain and currently without a consensus agreement. Popliteal cystic adventitial disease is defined by mucinous cyst formation within the adventitia of the popliteal artery causing stenosis or occlusion of the vessel resulting in calf claudication. Developed by renowned radiologists in each specialty, STATdx provides comprehensive decision support you can rely on - Cystic Adventitial Disease Endovascular techniques have been used in exceptional cases to treat this condition, with mixed to poor results. Introduction. Cystic adventitial disease (CAD) is a rare vascular disorder characterized by arterial occlusion owing to the development of a cystic mass in the outer (subadventitial) layer. Herein we present a histologically proven case of cystic adventitial disease of the popliteal artery in a 53-year-old man. Triplex ultrasonography of the right popliteal artery proximal to (a), within (b), and distal to (c) the stenosis, which is caused by compression of an anechoic-cystic structure. Case. These are the sources and citations used to research Cystic Adventitial Disease. The leg pain is known as intermittent claudication (walking pain). TY - JOUR T1 - Adventitial cystic disease of the popliteal artery. Furthermore, the limited imaging speed is another important concern. By understanding the pathogenesis of CAD, we can improve the surgical treatment, reduce recurrence rates, and improve patient outcomes. Upper extremity adventitial cystic disease is rare, but the characteristic findings of this lesion should be known to the hand surgeon and used to guide treatment. Cystic adventitial disease (CAD) of the popliteal artery is a rare vascular disease of unknown etiology in which a mucin-containing cyst develops in the adventitial layer of the artery. Patients affected by cystic adventitial disease frequently present with either claudication or swelling, involving the lower extremities. Several treatment options are available, oriented to either drainage of the cyst and/or arterial reconstruction. This cyst usually forms next to the the popliteal artery, which is located behind the knee in the back of the … Cystic adventitial disease is an uncommon condition that accounts for only 0.1% of all vascular disease (1), and it mainly affects young men with intermittent clau-dication. Our purpose was to identify the characteristic imaging features of cystic adventitial disease of the peripheral arteries. It is most commonly found in young or middle-aged men with intermittent claudication. CONCLUSION. Cystic adventitial disease. Dr Mohammad A. ElBeialy.
