Resumen

AZANERO-HARO, Johan. Leriche Syndrome: Underdiagnosis in Peripheral Artery Disease. Gac Med Bol [online]. 2022, vol.45, n.1, pp.75-78. ISSN 1012-2966.  https://doi.org/10.47993/gmb.v45i1.376.

Aortoiliac occlusive disease, also known as Leriche´s Syndrome, is the occlusion of the abdominal aorta in its infrarenal segment, with atherosclerosis being the main cause. The most frequent risk factors are: hypertension, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia and smoking. The case of a patient with risk factors for atherosclerotic disease who was admitted due to pain in the lower limbs, intermittent claudication, discoloration of the foot and absence of pulses in the lower limbs is described. Clinically, is characterized by the classic triad: Claudication, erectile dysfunction and decreased distal pulses. Due to their chronicity, many are usually asymptomatic due to the collateral circulation they develop, which leads to underreporting. Vascular studies such as: Doppler ultrasound, computed tomography angiography and aortic angiography can help confirm the diagnosis and location of stenosis, always having clinical suspicion as a fundamental pillar.
