[Non-arterial intermittent claudications].
There can be no doubt as to an arterial cause in the case of pain experienced when walking. However, there are claudications that, at least at the start of their appearance, confuse the diagnosis. They are mainly seen in the fields of neurology and rheumatology, and more seldom in venous or even general pathology. The overall clinical information combined with additional exams, mainly the Doppler-effect ultrasonic exam, can leave no doubt.
