We illustrate a case of an 8-year-old boy presenting acutely with bilateral lower extremity pain and weakness. This case illustrates the presentation and progression of a rare and potentially lethal diagnosis and highlights the use of computed tomography angiography in the setting of a patient with acute onset of pain and pulselessness of the lower extremities.
