Abstract
This is a report of a case of acute aortic occlusion (AAO) in a 46-year-old woman who presented with confluent and coalescing punched-out ulcerations on the bilateral medial buttocks and abdominal ulcerations. This case highlights how AAO, although rare, should be considered in patients with cardiovascular risk factors presenting with acute lower extremity pain and new-onset cutaneous ulcerations of the perineum and/or abdomen.
