Résumé :

Acute centrilobular liver cell necrosis in hypoxic hepatitis (HH) occurs mainly in the setting of hemodynamic failure owing to cardiac failure, respiratory failure, and septic-toxic shock. Cases of HH were also reported under specific conditions such as heat stroke, grand mal seizure, obstructive sleep apnea, and complicated aortic aneurysm. In this study, we report 5 cases of HH occurring in the course of acute lower limb ischemia (ALLI). To the best of our knowledge, the association between HH and ALLI has not yet been reported.
