[The "pedrada" ("coup-de-fouet") syndrome. A possibility to be considered in acute leg pain].
The authors describe a clinical case of pedrada syndrome in a patient formerly suffering from acute CID. It is a pathology enough rare and easily mistakable with phlebotrombosis of leg but from which is well to be able to do differential diagnosis because of therapy for an affection is clearly contraindicated for the other.
