A arteriosclerose de Monckeberg pode ser uma causa rara de isquemia grave dos membros inferiores. Relatamos o caso de um paciente com isquemia crítica do membro inferior, sem condições de revascularização, que evoluiu para amputação. O paciente não apresentava os fatores de risco clássicos para aterosclerose. O diagnóstico anatomopatológico foi de arteriosclerose por calcificação da média de Monckeberg.

Monckeberg's arteriosclerosis can be a rare cause of severe lower limb ischemia. We report the case of a patient with critical lower limb ischemia without revascularization conditions progressing to limb amputation. The patient did not present any traditional risk factors associated with atherosclerosis. Histopathological diagnosis showed arteriosclerosis associated with Monckeberg's medial calcification.
