The authors report a case of thrombosis of the left popliteal artery in a man aged 20 years, secondary to repeated minimal trauma from contact with a hypertrophied internal gemellus muscle. A bifurcation abnormality was also present. They review the anatomical variations seen at the end of the femoro-popliteal trunk and define the clinical and angiographic characteristics of popliteal thrombosis due to adjoining muscle hypertrophy.
