[Intermittent claudication of the buttock (author's transl)]. 1982

J Testart

Intermittent claudication of the buttock of arterial origin is a syndrome too often overlooked though easily diagnosed from the patient's history and clinical examination. It is due to lesions of the iliac arteries coexisting with permeable femoral and popliteal arteries. In about one-third of the cases the common iliac artery is completely occluded; in the remaining two-thirds the lesion consists of pre-occlusive stenosis and carries a high risk of acute ischaemia in the corresponding limb.

D007383	Intermittent Claudication	A symptom complex characterized by pain and weakness in SKELETAL MUSCLE group associated with exercise, such as leg pain and weakness brought on by walking.
