title: Rare cause of lower limb deep venous thrombosis: a case report.
abstract: deep venous thrombosis (dVT) in lower limbs caused by abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is rare. A combination of anatomical obstruction with surrounding inflammatory tissue and reduced blood flow in venous limb were probably the main reasons for the occurrence of the dVT. we report a case of infra-renal AAA presented as lower limb dVT and symptomatic pulmonary embolism.
