Spontaneous Rupture of an Adventitial Cyst of the Popliteal Artery: Confirmation with MR Imaging

A case of spontaneous rupture of an adventitial cyst in the popliteal artery is reported. Axial magnetic resonance (MR) images demonstrated the decompressed cyst, and MR angiography was a useful noninvasive technique for confirming vascular patency after cyst rupture.
