چکیده

Thromboangiitis obliterans (Buerger'€™s disease) represents an inflammatory disease of limbs'€™ small arteries and veins causing vascular thrombosis, and partial or total obstruction. It affects mostly male gender aged 40 years old. The peculiarity of our case is underlined by presenting a 62 years, chronic tobacco user and not compliant female patient known with thromb oangiitisobliterans for almost 15 years. The arteriographic and clinical features with concomitant and sever affected upper and lower limbs are highly suggestive, emphasizing the possibility of Buerger'€™s disease development even in female patients.
