Abstract EN
Diagnosis of lower limb pain in an athlete can be a challenging task due to the variety of potential etiologies and ambiguity of presenting symptoms.
Five of the most commonly encountered causes of limb pain in athletes are chronic exertional compartment syndrome (CECS), medial tibial stress syndrome (MTSS), tibial stress fractures, soleal sling syndrome, and popliteal artery entrapment syndrome (PAES).
Of these, the least frequent but potentially most serious of the pathologies is PAES.
With an incidence of less than 1% seen in living subject studies, the condition is rare.
However, a missed diagnosis will likely lead to progression of the disease and potential for unnecessary invasive procedures (McAree et al.
2008).
In this paper, we present a young athlete misdiagnosed and treated for chronic exertional compartment syndrome.
In both descriptive and a quick-reference table format, we review current literature and discuss how best to distinguish functional PAES from other causes of activity-related leg pain.
