The Authors describe a case of arteritis of the lower limbs in a woman, in which the clinico-angiographical features were suggestive for Buerger's disease, and this was confirmed by histological examination of the left posterior tibial artery. A bilateral lumbar sympathectomy was effective at least in slowing the course of the disease.
