[Cannabis and tobacco: cofactors favoring juvenile obliterative arteriopathy].

The causal effect of cannabis, associated or not with smoking, in juvenile thromboangiitis disorders such as Leo Buerger disease, has been suggested. We describe here a case of a 30-year-old woman who smoked cannabis and developed intermittent claudication of the lower limbs. Female sex and proximal localization of the lesions (external iliac artery) are not usually described in "cannabis arteritis". Cannabis would be involved not only in the pathogenesis of juvenile obstructive arteriopathy, but also in the development of atheromatous lesions in the young subject.
