Abstract
- Leriche syndrome is an aortoiliac occlusive disease. The aortoiliac junction is the most common sites of chronic obliterative atherosclerosis. Leriche syndrome has a variety of clinical symptoms attributed to the obstruction of the infrarenal aorta. Common clinical symptoms include thigh, hip, and buttock claudication as well as erectile impotence, usually in association with diminished femoral pulses. But acute anuric renal failure as first manifestation of Leriche syndrome is very uncommon. Contrast-enhanced 3D MRA appears to be well suited for assessment of patients with suspected Leriche syndrome. We report a 75-year-old man who presents anuria as first manifestation of Leriche syndrome.
