A Rare Case Report of Exertional Leg Pain.

Abstract

Abstract: The accurate diagnosis of exertional leg pain in athletes is often delayed because of vague presenting symptoms and nonspecific physical examination findings. This case report outlines exertional leg pain in a runner caused by combined popliteal artery entrapment and soleal sling syndromes, 2 uncommon causes of exertional leg pain. This case report highlights the overlapping clinical presentation of these 2 diagnoses and the intricate differences in diagnostic workup and surgical approach to management.
