Bilateral Lower Limb Disabling Claudication in a Young Man: A Case of Mönckeberg’s Arteriosclerosis

Mönckeberg’s arteriosclerosis, also called medial calcific sclerosis or Mönckeberg’s sclerosis, is a form of vessel hardening due to increased calcium deposits in the tunica media layer. There is disagreement over its clinical significance and aetiology and its relation to atherosclerosis and vascul...
