Abstract

Acute intraabdominal aortic obstruction ends in progressive fatal course or severe permanent disability unless it is diagnosed and treated promptly. However, the incidence of such disease is very rare, so there is very little chance for a neurosurgeon to encounter a patient with acute intraabdominal aortic obstruction. The authors present a case of 62-year-old man with severe low back pain and acute paraplegia caused by acute intraabdominal aortic obstruction.
