Maximal intensity projection (MIP) reconstruction image from high spatial resolution contrast enhanced MR angiography reveals a long segment focal near occlusion of the right popliteal artery (arrow). Note is made of high take-off of the bilateral posterior tibial arteries (arrowheads).

Axial and coronal T1-weighted post-contrast fat saturated gradient echo (GRE) images show no evidence of contrast enhancement of the well defined hypo-intense cystic mass. Compression of the popliteal arterial lumen (figure 2a and 2b, arrows), and normal enhancement of the popliteal vein (figure 2a, arrowhead) are noted.

Cystic adventitial disease (CAD) is an uncommon vascular pathology predominantly affecting peripheral vessels. The vast majority of cases occur in arteries, with venous involvement being an extremely rare occurrence .

Epidemiology

It typically affects young to middle-aged individuals without evidence of atherosclerosis or other systemic vascular disease. There is a recognized male predilection with a M:F ratio of ~15:1 .

Clinical presentation

Although cystic adventitial disease can affect any peripheral vessel, there is a striking predilection in the popliteal region, affected in ~85% of cases .

Typical symptoms include:

rapidly progressive calf claudication
lower extremity pain

Pathology

The condition is characterized by a collection of mucinous material (mucous cysts) within adventitial wall of the affected vessel.

Radiographic features

Ultrasound

May show multiple anechoic to hypoechoic lesions within the affected arterial wall. Color Doppler interrogation shows no flow within the lesions. There may also be associated arterial stenoses, with relevant changes in arterial Doppler wave flow and velocity.

MRI

Appearances on MRI are variable, depending on the distribution and size of the cysts.

May be seen as aggregates of multiple small round/ovoid masses originating in affected arterial wall, which if concentric lead to hourglass stenosis. When the lesions are large, they can have a multi-loculated appearance, and can displace the artery to one side - the so-called scimitar sign .

Lesional signal characteristics include

T1: individual lesions are of variable signal dependent on mucoid content
T2/STIR: individual lesions are high signal

Angiography (DSA)

Angiography may demonstrate curvilinear/spiral narrowing of vessels with a paucity of collaterals and an absence of poststenotic dilatation. When cystic lesions are large and eccentric they may displace the artery to one side - the so-called scimitar sign .
