Abstract
A 49-year-old female presented with a 3-week history of left calf intermittent claudication at 150 m, which had occurred suddenly and without preliminary herald signs. The patient was a nonsmoker and had no risk factors, such as hypertension, diabetes or hyperlipidaemia. She was engaged in regular sporting activity, playing tennis all year round and skiing in the winter. She thought at first that it might be a strained muscle and would subside spontaneously. This did not happen and she sought medical advice.
