| Abstract: | Thromboembolic causes of acute limb ischemia are not frequent; however, an immediate true therapy is needed to save the extremity. Here we presented a case with bilateral lower extremity arterial thromboembolism mimicking conversion disorder. Conversion disorder and acute arterial embolism can be confronted in different patterns. This case proved us that anamnesis can be misleading and manipulating to evaluate patients. Furthermore, our report may potentially highlight the inadequacies in the guidelines for diagnosis. |
