A 25-year-old male professional cyclist presented with claudication at his left leg. He consulted his sports physician two months ago with lumbalgia and ischiatiform pain at his left leg.
MRI of the lumbar spine was performed and did not reveal any lesion. He then consulted his physician again because of aggravating acute claudication symptoms during his cycling activity. History reveals worsening stress induced claudication during his sports activities since several years. Blood pressure investigation before and after stress and left and right differential and arm leg differential blood pressure were not investigated because of the acute clinical presentation.
