Tortuous abdominal aorta: A case report from cadaveric dissection with radiological emphasis
Journal Title: International Journal of Biomedical and Advance Research - Year 2016, Vol 7, Issue 1
Abstract
During routine dissection for MBBS first year in the region of abdomen, tortuous abdominal aorta was noticed in a female cadaver of approximately sixty five years of age. There was no dilatation or reduction in vessel wall thickness as is usually seen in aneurysms. Ultrasonography plays a major role in the exploration of the abdominal aorta, from its emergence from the diaphragm to its bifurcation. It is indicated for the diagnosis and follow-up of various aortic diseases, especially aneurysms. No abnormal pathology of a vessel and more so tortuosity is said to be the result of localized atherosclerosis.
