Abstract
Thromboangiitis obliterans (TAO) or Buerger's disease is a nonatherosc lerotic vascular disease of unknown etiology that occurs almost exclus ively in young male tobacco users. The involvement of the medium-sized and small arteries and veins leads to ischemic complaints and trophic changes in the limbs. The authors report a case of Buerger's disease in a 29-year-old man, a heavy smoker, affecting the lower limbs and me senteric vessels.
