Abstract
- Leriche syndrome or aortoiliac occlusive disease is a particular obliterative arterial disease of the lower limbs, consisting of thrombotic occlusion of the aortoiliac junction. We here report the case of a 20-year-old female patient with no particular past medical history, presenting with acute lower limb ischemia. Lower extremity echo Doppler showed overall decrease in arterial blood flow without visualization of endoluminal material. Lower limb angioscaner showed arterial thrombosis of the abdominal aorta extended to bilateral external iliac arteries. The patient subsequently underwent aortic-bi-iliac bypass surgery with good evolution as well as assessments for possible thrombogenic mechanism.<br />Competing Interests: Les auteurs ne déclarent aucun conflit d´intérêts.<br /> (Copyright: Leila Noureddine et al.)
