Obliterating endarteritis

Obliterating endarteritis also called "obliterating arteritis" is severe proliferating endarteritis that results in an occlusion of the lumen of the artery.[1] Obliterating endarteritis can occur due to a variety of medical conditions such as a complication of radiation poisoning,[2] or a syphilis infection.[3]
