Spontaneous rupture of an adventitial cyst of the popliteal artery: confirmation with MR imaging

J Vasc Interv Radiol. 1992 Feb;3(1):95-7. doi: 10.1016/s1051-0443(92)72197-6.

Abstract

A case of spontaneous rupture of an adventitial cyst in the popliteal artery is reported. Axial magnetic resonance (MR) images demonstrated the decompressed cyst, and MR angiography was a useful noninvasive technique for confirming vascular patency after cyst rupture.
