[The history of intermittent claudication due to arterial disease].
The clinical description of intermittent claudication due to arterial occlusive disease was made by two French precursors: a veterinary surgeon, Jean-François Bouley, and a neurologist, Jean-Martin Charcot. The subsequent works clarified the aetiology, the investigations and the treatment of this trouble but did not add anything to the initial description.
