Abstract

Spontaneous dissection of the main iliac artery is a rare condition with obvious treatment modalities. A 25-year-old male patient presented with exercise induced left leg pain. Magnetic resonance angiography demonstrated a spontaneous left main iliac artery dissection. The patient is followed-up conservatively for 4 months with anticoagulant therapy and exercise limitation.
