What are the symptoms of adventitial cystic disease?

The symptoms of adventitial cystic disease are leg pain or heaviness brought on by walking or exercising. The pain typically goes away with stopping the walking or exercise but it often slow to resolve (up to 20 minutes). The duration of symptoms is generally relatively short (weeks to months). The leg pain is known as intermittent claudication (walking pain). Some patients also have pain behind the knee.

The symptoms of adventitial cystic disease are similar to popliteal artery entrapment (PAES). If a young patient has pain when walking, the doctor will check for both of these conditions.
