Unusual presentation of peripheral artery disease
K Uwanuruochi
Abstract
Peripheral artery disease usually presents as intermittent claudication, with leg pain associated with walking and relieved by rest. We report a 52 year old man with pains in the left arm and peripheral vascular disease was confirmed with Doppler ultrasound. This presentation which is unusual in sub- Saharan Africa should be recognized.
