Adductor canal compression syndrome. A forgotten disease

Abstract

Superficial femoral vessels entrapped at the level of the adductor canal are rarely described.
We first report the case of a young patient who practices professional soccer, affected with superficial femoral vein and artery occlusion due to a hypertrophied vastus medialis and adductor magnus at the Hunter’s canal outlet. A careful literature  search through MedLine was performed to elucidate the fascinating aspect of this occurrence.
