Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of neurodevelopmental therapy (NDT) for improving lower extremity functions, ankle dorsiflexion range motion (ROM), popliteal angle, medial gastrocnemius (GCM) muscle thickness (MT), and functionality on children with hemiparetic Cerebral Palsy (CP).
 Methods: Eighteen CP aged between 6-15 years were included in study. Structured NDT ...

Popliteal artery entrapment syndrome typically causes calf claudication in young active adults. Acute limb ischemia from popliteal artery thrombosis, embolization, or aneurysmal degeneration is less common. Chronic compression, histologic changes, and predisposing factors, such as vigorous exercise or hypercoagulability, play a role in these cases. We present the case of a 32-year-old pregnant ...

tumours of growth plate origin. Although vascular complications of these are rare, the most commonly reported is a popliteal artery pseudoaneurysm. Most pseudoaneurysms have been related to femoral osteochondromas, with only 3 previous reports of a popliteal pseudoaneurysm secondary to a tibial exostosis. We report a case of a popliteal pseudoaneurysm secondary to a tibial osteochondroma and di...

BACKGROUND Traditionally metastatic melanoma of the distal leg and the foot metastasize to the lymph nodes of the groin. Sometimes the first site of nodal disease can be the popliteal fossa. This is an infrequent event, with rare reports in literature and when it occurs, radical popliteal node dissection must be performed. CASE PRESENTATION We report a case of a 36-year old man presented with...

We report a rare case of cystic adventitial disease of popliteal artery with venous aneurysm of popliteal vein. A 46-year-old woman had sudden-onset intermittent claudication and coldness in her right leg. The right-sided ankle-brachial pressure index (ABI) was 1.01, but peripheral arterial pulsation was decreased at knee venting position. Computed tomography revealed simple cystic lesion of th...

In this paper we present a 39-year old former athlete complaining with pain in his legs during long walk resembling to intermittent claudication. Color duplex scan described a popliteal artery with 10 mm in diameter with mural thrombus that caused stenosis 75% of lumen. Digital subtraction angiography demonstrated a stenosis of right popliteal artery. The suspicion for Cystic adventitial diseas...

Methods A 67-year-old woman presented to our clinic with pain at the back of bilateral knee joints. Physical examination showed manually palpable distal arterial pulses and a pulsatile mass at bilateral popliteal fossae. Arterial Doppler ultrasonography revealed bilateral popliteal arterial aneurysms. Multislice computerized tomography showed an aneurysm starting from distal femoral artery and ...
