AB A  28-year-old  male  athlete  presented  with  increasing  difficulty  running,  resulting  in  severe  bilateral  calf  cramping.  He  consulted  with  orthopedics  and  neurosurgery  with  no  definite  etiology  identified.  Vascular  surgery  was  consulted  with  a  provisional  diagnosis  of  a  compartment  syndrome.  On  physical  examination  he  had  normal  pulses  at  rest.  Diminution  of  dorsalis  pedis  and  posterior  tibial  pulses  was  appreciated  on  both  plantar  flexion  and  dorsiflexion.  Duplex  ultrasound  examination  showed  normal  signals  at  rest,  obliteration  of  arterial  signals  on  plantar  flexion,  and  reactive  hyperemia  on  a  neutral  foot  position.
