Leriche syndrome is an aortoiliac occlusive arterial disease comprising decreased peripheral pulses, claudication, and erectile dysfunction. We present a case of a 60-year-old male with abdominal pain and hematochezia who was diagnosed with hemorrhoids. The patient also had associated leg cramps on both sides and lower limb weakness. Further evaluation of the patient with imaging revealed occlusion of the distal descending abdominal aorta below the level of renal arteries and the iliac arteries. An incidental finding of Leriche syndrome was evident. This case report contributes to the current literature when any patient with abdominal pain and bilateral lower limb weakness, Leriche syndrome should be considered to avoid complications as it has high morbidity and mortality.
