Abstract

In reference to a typical case of Buerger's disease, the clinical, arteriographic, histological signs as well as diagnostic criteria are restated. The pathogenesis is still unknown; a genetic predisposition and an auto-immune process could be involved. The treatment, presently symptomatic, cannot arrest the evolution which is often mutilating, when the patient continues to smoke. An early diagnosis is possible in the presence of superficial phlebitis or Raynaud's phenomenon.
