BACKGROUND
Intermittent claudication, muscle ischemia due to reduced arterial circulation, may be associated with an increased risk of cancer risk and death due to neoplasm-induced hypercoagulability and angiogenesis, or to shared risk factors, but the relation is not well understood.
METHODS
We
A rare case is described of coexistence of vertebral canal meningioma with Leriche's syndrome in a female patient aged 58 years. After removal of the tumour intermittent claudication, the main clinical syndrome, disappeared.
Cancer was diagnosed in 15 patients among 300 consecutive patients with intermittent claudication. The cancer-associated claudication is characterized by a more accelerated course of claudication, more often requires vascular surgery, and moreover, the lasting relief of claudication depends upon the
In order to clarify the propriety of surgical treatment for intermittent claudication caused by arteriosclerosis obliterans (ASO), indication for vascular reconstruction and efficacy of surgery on patient's quality of life were investigated. Bypass surgery or laser angioplasty (PTLA) was undertaken
The objective of this study was to investigate the association between flavonol and flavone intake and the risk of intermittent claudication in male smokers. The study population consisted of participants of the Finnish alpha-Tocopherol, beta-Carotene Cancer Prevention (ATBC) Study, who were free of
We examined the primary preventive effect of vitamin E (alpha-tocopherol) and beta-carotene supplementation on intermittent claudication. The subjects--participants in the Alpha-Tocopherol, Beta-Carotene Cancer Prevention Study--were male smokers aged 50 to 69 years who were randomly assigned to
We evaluated the effect of long-term supplementation with vitamin E (alpha-tocopherol) and beta-carotene on occurrence of claudication symptoms and risk for peripheral vascular surgery among men with intermittent claudication. Subjects, 50-69-year old male smokers, were participants in the
Pentoxifylline (PTX), a methylxanthine derivative is a non-steroidal immunomodulating agent with unique hemorheologic properties. It is used in the treatment of intermittent claudication as it increases the amount of oxygen reaching tissues by increasing the flexibility of red blood cells. Recently,
An inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is a rare disease entity reported to arise in various organs but still thought to be a neoplastic or reactive inflammatory condition controversially. The author reports an extremely rare case of intradural extramedullary IMT of lumbar spine which was
Four cases of left atrial myxoma with varied clinical manifestations were diagnosed with echocardiographic studies prior to cardiac catheterization and surgery. The unusual clinical features include Raynaud's phenomenon and intermittent claudication. The echocardiographic features of the atrial
The case of a patient with vertebral hemangioma and unusual clinical presentation is reported, with an attempt to explain these unusual clinical complaints. Vertebral hemangioma is a common and often asymptomatic tumor. Neurologic symptoms may appear due to pressure on the neural tissue caused by
A 32-year-old man presented with gradually increasing bilateral buttock pain. He had intermittent claudication. Multiple, homogenously enhanced intradural extramedullary lesions at L2-L3 and L5-S1 levels were observed on magnetic resonance imaging. The tumors were debulked and were removed in
BACKGROUND
Ependymoma associated with multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN-1) is an extremely rare clinical entity. To the best of our knowledge, only five cases of ependymoma associated with MEN-1 have been previously described. Furthermore, there has been no case of tanycytic ependymoma of the
