Abstract

Exertional leg pain occurs with notable frequency among athletes and poses diagnostic challenges to clinicians due to overlapping symptomatology. In this case report, we delineate the clinical presentation of a young collegiate soccer player who endured two years of progressive bilateral exertional calf pain and ankle weakness during athletic activity. The initial assessment yielded a diagnosis of chronic exertional compartment syndrome (CECS), predicated on the results of compartment testing. However, her clinical presentation was suspicious for concurrent type VI popliteal artery entrapment syndrome (PAES), prompting further radiographic testing of magnetic resonance angiography (MRA). MRA revealed severe arterial spasm with plantarflexion bilaterally, corroborating the additional diagnosis of PEAS. Given the worsening symptoms, the patient underwent open popliteal entrapment release of the right leg. Although CECS and PAES are both known phenomena that are observed in collegiate athletes, their co-occurrence is uncommon owing to their different pathophysiological underpinnings. This case underscores the importance for clinicians to be aware that the successful diagnosis of one condition does not exclude the possibility of a secondary, unrelated pathology. This case also highlights the importance of dynamic imaging modalities, including point-of-care ultrasound, dynamic MRA, and dynamic angiogram.

摘要

运动性腿痛在运动员中相当常见,因其症状重叠给临床医生带来诊断挑战。在本病例报告中,我们描述了一名年轻的大学足球运动员的临床表现,该运动员在运动过程中双侧小腿渐进性疼痛和踝关节无力达两年之久。根据筋膜室检测结果,初步评估诊断为慢性运动性筋膜室综合征(CECS)。然而,她的临床表现怀疑同时合并VI型腘动脉压迫综合征(PAES),这促使进一步进行磁共振血管造影(MRA)影像学检查。MRA显示双侧跖屈时严重动脉痉挛,证实了PAES的额外诊断。鉴于症状不断恶化,患者接受了右下肢腘动脉压迫松解术。虽然CECS和PAES在大学运动员中都是已知现象,但由于它们不同的病理生理基础,二者同时出现并不常见。本病例强调了临床医生应意识到成功诊断一种疾病并不排除存在继发性、不相关病理状况的可能性。本病例还突出了动态成像模式的重要性,包括床旁超声、动态MRA和动态血管造影。
