AB  - BACKGROUND: Botulinum Toxin-A (BoNT-A) is an effective intervention for 
      Functional Popliteal Artery Entrapment Syndrome (FPAES) however, concerns with 
      this intervention include reductions in strength and performance. CASE REPORT: 
      This case presents an elite male athlete with FPAES who underwent BoNT-A 
      injection and the results of testing before and after injection. The athlete 
      experienced a decrease in strength and performance at one week post-injection 
      however, he returned to baseline levels within four weeks. When comparing sprint 
      distance during games, before and after injection, the athlete had an increase in 
      his sprint distance per game post-injection. Finally on ultrasound he had visible 
      medial gastrocnemius denervation atrophy with a decrease in arterial flow 
      velocity at four weeks post-injection. CONCLUSION: BoNT-A may be an effective 
      minimally invasive treatment option for FPAES however, athletes may experience a 
      transient decrease in function following BoNT-A injection and consequently 
      caution must be taken with regard to treatment timing.
