Popliteal Fossa

The document discusses the popliteal fossa, including its boundaries, contents, roof, and floor. It provides learning objectives about describing and demonstrating these aspects of the popliteal fossa and understanding its clinical relevance. A case study is presented of a man who experienced pain and weakness in his leg during exercise, and was diagnosed with popliteal artery entrapment syndrome after angiography showed medial deviation and post-stenotic dilatation of the popliteal artery. The document then discusses several conditions that can involve the popliteal fossa, such as popliteal cysts, popliteal aneurysms, small saphenous vein varicose veins, and popliteus tendinitis.

Case Scenario
An athletic 21-year-old man presented with a complaint of pain and
weakness in his right leg when jogging. The pain and weakness
intensified with continued activity but dissipated at rest. There was
no history of trauma to his right lower limb and no family history
of diabetes mellitus or other diseases that would lead to
accelerated atherosclerosis. Lab results for cholesterol and
triglycerides were normal. The dorsalis pedis arterial pulse was
normal but disappeared with dorsiflexion of the right foot.
Doppler measurement of blood flow velocity in the dorsalis pedis
artery showed diminished velocity with dorsiflexion of the right
foot and plantar flexion against resistance.
Measurements in the left dorsalis pedis artery were normal.
Angiography showed medial deviation of the popliteal artery with
post-stenotic dilatation. The patient was diagnosed with
popliteal artery entrapment syndrome and it was treated
surgically.
