Background: External iliac artery endofibrosis (EIAE) is an uncommon pathology, predominantly occurring in cyclists, caused by thickening of the external iliac artery intima. Symptoms are exercise-dependent and typically consist of pain, muscle cramps and loss of strength in the affected limb at (sub)maximal effort. As other musculo-skeletal as well as conditional problems might cause similar complaints diagnosis is not always easy or straightforward.
