Abstract
Thromboangiitis obliterans or Leo Burger’s disease is a rare systemic vasculitis in young and typically heavy smoker male, whose diagnosis is a real challenge for the clinician. Digestive manifestations are rare and unusual in this disease and the inaugural intestinal involvement is extremely found. We report an original case of relapsing and resistant duodenal ulcer revealing a Leo Buerger’s disease in a 42 year old man.
