ABSTRACT
We present a case of a thoracic aortic mural thrombus (AMT) in a non-atherosclerotic and non-aneurysmal aorta that presented with acute limb ischaemia. AMT in a non-diseased aorta without an underlying hypercoagulable disorder is rare. The AMT in our patient was managed with anticoagulation, which resolved on a 5-month follow-up CT scan. This provided us an opportunity to discuss the successful medical management of an AMT, to review the literature on the management of AMT and to add to the literature on a rare presentation of an AMT.
