Abstract : Popliteal artery entrapment syndrome (PAES) is a rare limb threatening clinical disorder seen in young adults. This is characterised by the compression of the popliteal  artery by adjacent muscular and tendinous structures (1). We report a case of popliteal artery entrapment syndrome and discuss the mechanism, classification and management of this clinical entity.
