Abstract
Acute arterial occlusion associated with an abdominal aortic aneurysm can occur as a result of acute thrombosis or embolism from a mural thr ombus of the aneurysm. We report here a case of an unusual association between a seat belt injury and an acute ischaemic leg in a patient kn own to have an abdominal aortic aneurysm. We also demonstrate some dif ficult dilemma related to the use of anticoagulation in patients with multiple injuries.
