Uncommon diseases of the popliteal artery include cystic adventitial disease, popliteal artery entrapment syndrome (PAES) and popliteal artery aneurysm (PAA). Because all of these conditions may present with pain or intermittent claudication, imaging is crucial for differentiating them and directing management. Delayed diagnosis can lead to major complications, including acute limb ischemia. Our aim is to provide an illustrative overview of these conditions in order to make radiologists aware of them and avoid misdiagnosis for timely appropriate management.Teaching Points• Cystic adventitial disease diagnosis is based on evidence of cysts within artery walls.• A variety of anatomic variations may result in PAES.• PAES may be bilateral.• PAA is most commonly encountered in men.• Acute complications of PAA include acute thrombosis and distal embolization.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1007/s13244-016-0513-6) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

“…Later, “embryological” theory was suggested, according to which mucin-secreting cells from the adjoining joint are incorporated into the artery during development that secrete mucin in later years leading to cyst formation. 15,37,38 Some authors suggested “Synovial or Ganglion theory,” according to which adventitial cysts developed from the adjoining joint synovium. They observed similarities between adventitial cyst contents and those of ganglion.…”

Cystic adventitial disease (CAD) is a rare vascular disorder, predominantly seen in young healthy men with minimal cardiovascular risk factors. Cystic adventitial disease can affect both arteries and veins. Patients with arterial CAD present with sudden onset or rapidly progressing claudication symptoms, and those with venous CAD present with limb swelling or very rarely deep vein thrombosis. Diagnosis is confirmed with the aid of imaging techniques such as ultrasonography, computed tomography, or magnetic resonance scan. Surgical resection or evacuation of the lesion is usually the preferred approach, with only mixed results reported for percutaneous endovascular techniques.

Summary The disease is a rare one of dubious pathogenesis. The clinical presentation is usually one of the sudden onset of intermittent claudication in a young adult male. Arteriography may reveal a stenosis, with or without displacement, or complete occlusion of the popliteal artery, which otherwise appears normal. Treatment is either by incision of the cysts with extrusion of their contents in stenotic lesions or resection of the artery with autogenous vein replacement in complete occlusion. A search of the literature has revealed 31 documented cases of the disorder, and this paper describes two further cases.
