Il faut souligner que le terme de claudication intermittente, consacré par l'usage, est en fait inapproprié car il ne s'agit pas d'une claudication, mais d'une douleur [et/ou d'une impotence] liée à l'effort. 1, record 1, French, - claudication%20intermittente

Il y a trois types de claudication intermittente : deux sont douloureuses, celle de l'insuffisance artérielle (syndrome de Leriche, artérite, maladie de Buerger), celle de la pathologie ostéo-articulaire et névritique, en se souvenant que les sciatiques qui n'apparaissent qu'à la marche et qui s'aggravent au fur et à mesure que le malade avance évoquent un canal lombaire étroit; la troisième claudication intermittente n'est pas douloureuse, elle se manifeste par une parésie, puis une véritable paralysie qui n'apparaît qu'à la marche : c'est la claudication intermittente médullaire. 3, record 1, French, - claudication%20intermittente
