Abstract
A case was presented in which intermittent calf claudication developed in association with the clinical syndrome of polymyalgia rheumatica in a 51-yr. -old woman. The claudication was caused by a nonspecific panarteritis with marked intimal proliferation which produced symmetric narrowing of long portions of the major arteries of the lower extremities. Treatment with adrenocorticoids resulted in disappearance of the polymyalgia symptoms and claudication and reversal of the arterial narrowing.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
