abstract
Isolated arteritis of the lower limb vessels is an extremely rare condition. The use of modern vascular imaging techniques substantially facilitates and accelerates the diagnostics. In the isolated lower limb arteritis, it is always necessary to exclude Takayasu’s and giant-cell arteritis. We present the case of a female patient with an isolated lower extremity arteritis without any other symptoms of systemic vascular damage or systemic autoimmune disease. Immunosuppressive therapy is obligatory in this case. Interdisciplinary co-operation is required for rapid diagnosis and successful therapy. Our patient has consented to the publication of this report.
