In this article, we report a 39-year-old male case who was admitted with claudication and diagnosed with popliteal artery entrapment syndrome. The angiographic imaging demonstrated the deviation of the popliteal artery out of its natural tract. The diagnosis of popliteal artery entrapment syndrome was established by means of magnetic resonance imaging. The impingement of the popliteal artery was corrected surgically. The patient was asymptomatic during the follow-up period.
