Recanalization of external iliac artery occlusion in a patient with spinal stenosis using medications: a case report.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Iliac artery occlusion accompanied by spinal canal stenosis is rare. All reported cases were treated with endovascular stenting for iliac artery occlusion. We report the first case of external iliac artery occlusion accompanied by spinal stenosis, which was successfully treated with conservative treatment.

Case presentation

A 66-year-old man with lower extremity pain and claudication visited the outpatient spine clinic. He complained of a tingling sensation in the L5 dermatome of the right leg and L4 dermatome of the left leg. Magnetic resonance imaging showed central stenosis in at the L4-5 and L5-S1 levels, and lateral recess stenosis at the L5-S1 level. The patient's symptoms were ambiguous with mixed neurological claudication and vascular claudication. Compute
