Popliteal artery entrapment by an anomalous band of the gastrocnemius muscle is uncommon. In cases where popliteal artery occlusion has occurred, the diagnosis is difficult to establish. A case is presented in which computed axial tomography of the popliteal space established the diagnosis of popliteal artery thrombosis caused by entrapment when other diagnostic modalities were inconclusive. Computed axial tomography provides precise anatomic display of the muscle structure of the popliteal fossa and should be an important diagnostic tool in patients suspected to have popliteal artery entrapment.
腓肠肌异常束带压迫腘动脉的情况并不常见。在发生腘动脉闭塞的病例中，诊断很难确立。本文报告一例，当其他诊断方法尚无定论时，腘窝的计算机轴向断层扫描确诊了由压迫导致的腘动脉血栓形成。计算机轴向断层扫描能精确显示腘窝的肌肉结构，对于疑似腘动脉受压的患者应是一项重要的诊断工具。
