Phantom limb pain (PLP) refers to ongoing painful sensations that seem to be coming from the part of the limb that is no longer there. The limb is gone, but the pain is real. The onset of this pain most often occurs soon after surgery. It can feel like a variety of things, such as burning, twisting, itching or pressure.
Clinical events that cause acute limb ischemia include acute thrombosis of a limb artery or bypass graft, embolism from the heart or a diseased artery, dissection, and trauma (from severing of an artery or thrombosis). Acute thrombosis of a limb artery is most likely to occur at the site of an atherosclerotic plaque.
