The non specific nature of entity, lower incidence of disorder and acute presentation may possess difficulty in timely recognizing the condition. It can present as a relatively mild problem to life threatening condition. Relatively rare in incidence deserves a special place of this condition, so that every young doctor is aware about the condition. This is an attempt to raise the awareness about this condition as fast and timely intervention may prove to be life saving step.
