Skiing and intermittant claudication: an aberrant presentation

Ann Vasc Surg. 2010 Nov;24(8):1133.e13-4. doi: 10.1016/j.avsg.2010.05.016.

Abstract

Lower extremity peripheral arterial disease frequently presents with intermittent claudication, typically manifest in lower extremity pain or cramping associated with exercise, generally walking. Occasionally early onset of disease can be associated with running. This report describes the unusual presentation of leg pain associated with skiing and relieved by cessation of skiing immediately caused by focal iliac artery stenosis.
