Abstract
Acute arterial occlusion may be caused by an embolus, thrombosis, or trauma . Vascular diseases can involve complications not limited to vascular-relat ed areas and may require a multidisciplinary approach to diagnosis and trea tment. An overview of acute arterial occlusion is presented, as well as a c ase study of an atypical presentation of an arterial embolus of the lower e xtremity.
