ABSTRACT
Contrast-enhanced multidetector computed tomography is currently the preferred imaging modality to diagnose acute traumatic aortic injury (ATAI). Rarely, ATAI can present with atypical findings that make the diagnosis and further management exceptionally challenging. Furthermore, ATAI can also be associated with inferior vena cava injury showing only indirect signs on later imaging. We present an unusual case of traumatic aortic disruption mimicking acute limb ischemia.
