Abstract
In this report, we describe a patient with adventitial cystic disease of the popliteal artery, in which direct communication via a duct-like structure between the cystic lesion and the knee-joint synovium resulted in recurrent episodes of intermittent claudication and complete symptom-free intervals (intermittent claudication intermittence). This unusual observation could shed more light on the debated etiology of the disease. Moreover, it emphasizes the importance of complete excision of the cyst along with the presenting anatomic connection with the knee joint.
