ABSTRACT

The aneurism of the abdominal aorta has been recognized as an important health problem in the last decade. The anomalies of the vascular tree are common. The isolated aneurisms of the aorta artery are observed quite frequently. The statistics associated to this disease provoke great preoccupation and it is foreseen that its incidence increases in the subsequent years, due to the increase of the population’s life expectancy. The caliber of the abdominal aorta does not exceed 3 cm of diameter and it gets thinner progressively at the time it wanders distally. The rupture risk depends on the aneurism size. We reported the case of a woman aged 61 years, who assisted the consultation for having pain, accompanied by hypotension, an acute anemia, fatigue with profuse perspiration and pulsations in the epigastrium. An abdominal ultrasound was made, finding a slight distension of the abdominal aorta of 3,7 cm, extended up to the iliac branches. We indicated an abdominal computed axial tomography discovering the damage of the abdominal aorta.
