Fig. 1 Standard arteriogram revealed occlusion of left popliteal artery (arrow) with large supragenicular collateral branches. Arterial anatomy was normal on right and neither artery displayed significant medial deviation characteristic of some forms of popliteal entrapment.

Fig. 2 CT with contrast infusion at level of femoral condyles revealed thrombosis of left popliteal artery (small arrow). Anomalous origin of medial head of left gastrocnemius muscle (large arrow) was clearly demonstrated, in contrast to normal anatomic relationships seen in right limb.
