Abstract
Total aortic occlusion is a rare disease and may lead to catastrophic outcomes. Although it can be acute or subacute, mortality or morbidity is high if early intervention is not performed. In this report, we described the case of a 90-year-old female patient with total aortic occlusion who presented to the emergency department with paraplegia.
