Motor Scooter Syndrome Revisited: A Case of Delayed Presentation of Traumatic Occlusion of the Common Femoral Artery

Injuries to the common femoral artery (CFA) are usually associated with local fractures. Other common mechanisms of injury include intimal disruption, intramural hematomas, and subintimal fibrosis. Occlusions to the CFA may also result from blood clots or arterial emboli via blunt injury. Blunt trau...

description Injuries to the common femoral artery (CFA) are usually associated with local fractures. Other common mechanisms of injury include intimal disruption, intramural hematomas, and subintimal fibrosis. Occlusions to the CFA may also result from blood clots or arterial emboli via blunt injury. Blunt trauma causing injury to the common femoral artery is exceedingly rare. Blunt injury to the CFA may be caused by “motor-scooter-handlebar syndrome.” We present a unique case where the delayed diagnosis of such an injury led to acute renal failure, rhabdomyolysis, and prolonged morbidity.
