Title: Combined neurogenic and vascular claudication. Author: De Villiers JC. Journal: S Afr Med J; 1980 Apr 19; 57(16):650-4. PubMed ID: 6445600.

Problems involved in differentiating the neurogenic and vascular components in such cases are described on the basis of experience in the Department of Neurosurgery at Groote SChuur Hospital.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
