title: External iliac artery endofibrosis: a new possible predisposing factor.
abstract: External iliac artery endofibrosis (EIAE) is an uncommon disease that affects a large number of athletes. The pathogenesis of EIAE is unclear. We offer an additional possible cause, with a direct relationship between EIAE and psoas muscle hypertrophy.
