Coronal CT images show filling defects in the infrarenal abdominal aorta (arrow) in the portal venous phase (A). Enhancement of the abdominal aorta (arrowhead) is noted in the delayed phase (B).. CT: computed tomography

FIG1
Further investigation by contrast-enhanced computed tomography scan demonstrated near-complete thrombosis of the abdominal aorta distal to the origin of the celiac artery and extending to the common iliac arteries with the involvement of bilateral renal arteries (Figure 1).
Selected DSA image shows an abrupt cut-off (arrow) in the infrarenal abdominal aorta representing thrombosis.. DSA: digital subtraction angiography

FIG2
The aortogram showed a complete aortoiliac occlusion distal to the celiac artery origin with no opacification of renal arteries (Figure 2).
Selected DSA image shows complete patency of renal arteries bilaterally (arrows).. DSA: digital subtraction angiography

FIG3
Follow-up angiography demonstrated complete patency of bilateral renal arteries with the resumption of flow into renal parenchyma (Figure 3).

In addition, ultrasound examination with Doppler study of kidneys yielded normal results with no evidence of renal vascular occlusion (Figure 4).
