Conclusion
Leriche syndrome, also known as aortoiliac occlusive disease.
Leriche syndrome often presents with a triad of clinical symptoms: (1) intermittent lower extremity vascular claudication, (2) impotence, and (3) weak/absent femoral pulses.
Abdominal ultrasonography and computed tomography angiography assist the clinician in confirming the diagnosis.
Treatment is primarily surgical in nature (anatomical and extra-anatomical).
