Abstract :

Leriche syndrome is a rare clinical entity . A 35 year old male patient with history of chronic smoking and alcoholism presented with acute onset paraplegia with sensory and autonomic involvement ,was evaluated initially as transverse myelitis , but eventually patient developed dry gangrene and CT aortogram suggestive of aorto– iliac occlusive disorder. A careful clinical examination and high index of suspicion is therefore essential to avoid misdiagnosis of major vascular event which can result in significant mortality and morbidity
