title: Cauda equina pseudoclaudication syndrome.
abstract: Intermittent claudication is known as a specific symptom in patients with chronic occlusive arterial lesions. Clinically it is important that neurogenic intermittent pseudo-claudication should be differentiated from true intermittent claudication. Nevertheless confusion still exists in differential diagnosis between these two entities. This paper deals with general review of intermittent pseudo-claudication and a particular emphasis is placed on the different concepts of the pathophysiology and the differential diagnosis from the standpoint of vascular surgery. Recently one case of the neurogenic intermittent pseudo-claudication was encountered and presented in this paper.
