Popis: Popliteal artery entrapment is an unusual cause of intermittent claudication in young people. Despite increasing interest since the paper by (Hamming: Angiology 10:369–371, 1959) one may still fail to ascribe exercise-induced leg pain to this syndrome. It may be confused with a chronic posterior crural compartment syndrome or spinal stenosis. In this article two cases, occurring in young athletes who required reconstructive surgery, are presented.
