Popliteal artery entrapment syndrome (PAES) is a frequently underdiagnosed condition that should be investigated in adults who experience exertional intermittent claudication in the lower limbs.

PAES can be inherited or acquired through muscular hypertrophy, and the literature classifies it into six categories (I-VI) based on anatomical type. We intend to report the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings of two cases with type II PAES and their management.
