Adventitial cystic disease (ACD) is an uncommon cause of ischemia. The majority of ACD is located in the popliteal artery. Over 49 extrapopliteal locations have been described. We report on a case of femoral artery ACD in a young patient with claudication. The diagnosis was made with duplex ultrasound and confirmed with computed tomographic angiogram. The patient underwent a surgical treatment. One year postoperatively, the patient is active with no claudication. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of extrapopliteal artery ACD in Canada.
外膜囊肿性疾病（ACD）是一种罕见的缺血性病因。大多数ACD位于腘动脉。已报道超过49个腘动脉以外的发病部位。我们报告一例年轻间歇性跛行患者的股动脉ACD病例。通过双功超声诊断，并经计算机断层血管造影证实。患者接受了手术治疗。术后一年，患者活动自如，无间歇性跛行。据我们所知，这是加拿大首例报道的腘动脉以外动脉ACD病例。
