Acute Limb Ischemia as an Unusual Presentation of Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection

Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is a rare, though, important cause of acute coronary syndrome that is more commonly seen in young and middle-aged women without risk factors for, or a history of, coronary artery disease. Acute embolization of left ventricular (LV) thrombus is an uncommon but known cause of acute limb ischemia. In this case, we present a rare case of SCAD that led to acute limb ischemia due to embolization of LV thrombus. SCAD is a very rare cause of LV thrombus, but still should be taken in consideration. In this case, we present a rare case of SCAD that led to acute limb ischemia.
