It was documented in literature quite often and it is associated with conditions like hypertension, diabetes, chronic steroid use, secondary to autoimmune disorders, mechanical trauma, thrombocytopenia and in patients taking antiplatelet drugs. we would like to report a case where we noted RL sign in patient where none of the above mentioned risk factors are present.
