Abstract
Popliteal entrapment syndrome (PES) is caused by compression of the neurovascular bundle in the popliteal fossa. Most often PES results from arterial compression, and rarely from the popliteal vein (PV). Venous PES is commonly caused by anatomical variations of the medial head of the gastrocnemius muscle. Here, we describe a case of venous PES caused by the popliteus muscle (PM).
