title: [Buttock claudication as the dominant symptom of atherosclerosis: a case report].
abstract: Buttock claudication is rather rare symptom of atherosclerosis. Authors presented a case of 61 year old patient in whom buttock claudication was only one symptom. The patient was surgically treated (endarterectomy of iliac internal artery with ilico-femoral bypass) with excellent result. Authors pointed out necessity of restoration of blood flow through internal iliac artery as a prevention or treatment in buttock claudication.
