Giant Thrombosed Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) in A 50-Year-Old Male
Journal Title: Journal of Enam Meical College - Year 2014, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
A 50-year-old male patient attended the outpatient department of Orthopedics in Popular Medical College & Hospital with the history of low back pain for 2 years and pain in both lower limbs for same duration. He consulted local doctors for his low back pain, but there was no improvement. On examination, the patient was hypertensive and a lower abdominal pulsatile mass was felt. Both femoral pulses were feeble. Contrast enhanced CT scan of the abdomen was performed and it revealed a giant infrarenal fusiform completely thrombosed aortic aneurysm about 14 cm in length. Aneurysm reached the bifurcation of the aorta. Thrombosis was found within the aneurysm. However, no evidence of rupture was seen.
