External iliac artery endofibrosis is a rare medical condition typically encountered in young endurance athletes, mainly cyclists. Iliac endofibrosis usually develops in the external iliac artery and is rarely seen in the common iliac or in common femoral arteries. We describe a unique case of a patient who was not a professional or high-endurance cyclist. The lesions in our case appeared to be bilateral in the common iliac arteries and were not limited to the external iliac artery as most commonly described. We present an overview of the literature regarding this medical condition.
髂外动脉内膜纤维化是一种罕见的医学病症,通常在年轻的耐力运动员中出现,主要是自行车运动员。髂动脉内膜纤维化通常发生在髂外动脉,在髂总动脉或股总动脉中很少见。我们描述了一例非专业或高耐力自行车运动员的独特病例。我们病例中的病变似乎在双侧髂总动脉,并不像最常见描述的那样仅限于髂外动脉。我们提供了关于这种医学病症的文献综述。
