Item Síndrome de Leriche. Complicaciones de una enfermedad arterial periférica subdiagnosticada: reporte de caso(Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2023) Altamirano Jiménez, Vivian Nicole; Andrade Cifuentes, Ana Valentina; Sánchez Correa, Mauren Julieth; Sánchez Ospina, Sara Daniela; Rodríguez Bayona, Fernando (Director)Leriche Syndrome, an often underdiagnosed aorto-iliac occlusive disease characterized by complete arterial flow occlusion at the abdominal aorta and/or its bifurcation, requires diagnosis based on a comprehensive clinical history, physical examination, and angiotomography as the gold standard. A case is presented of a 48-year-old female patient with multiple risk factors whose clinical presentation began with lower limb pain, paresthesia, intermittent claudication, and absent lower limb pulses, ultimately requiring amputation of the left fifth toe; despite the clear clinical picture, the definitive diagnosis was delayed by multiple specialists' unfamiliarity with the pathology. The report's primary purpose is to highlight the importance of a correct initial clinical approach, including a rigorous physical examination and the appropriate use of diagnostic imaging, to achieve timely intervention and prevent severe complications of this syndrome.
