Figure 1: Photo of the patient’s lower limbs showing the
cyanosis from the left foot to the middle of the left thigh
Figure 2: Chest CT scan without injection of contrast medium,
axial section showing multiple extensive ground-glass areas occupying
50-75% of the lung parenchyma, peripherally and centrally distributed,
bilaterally subpleural, associated with fine intralobular reticulations
giving a crazy paving appearance and areas of condensation especially in
the posterior basal segments of the lower lobe bilaterally.
Figure 3 a: Arterial Doppler ultrasound of the arterial axes of
the left lower limb showing an extensive intraluminal thrombus along the
arterial axes of the left lower limb, totally obstructive, starting from
the primitive iliac artery just after its bifurcation with the aorta and
extending distally (external iliac; common femoral; superficial femoral;
popliteal; anterior tibial; posterior tibial; fibular and pedal)
