ABSTRACT

Introduction: pseudoaneurysms arise from a disruption in arterial or heart wall continuity resulting from inflammation, trauma, or iatrogenic causes such as surgical procedures. The advent of new radiologic techniques, such as Doppler echography, angyo tomography, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and subtraction digital angiography, with a greater sensitivity for asymptomatic disease has allowed more frequent diagnosis of pseudo aneurysms.
Objectives: to emphasize in the diagnosis of arterial pseudo aneurysms based on the clinical findings of an abdominal mass associated with generalized abdominal pain and to enhance the imagenologic studies that contributed to the diagnosis and treatment.
Case report: this report presents a case of a 72 year old patient who came to the emergency room with generalized abdominal pain. It was identified a palpable hemiabdominal mass.
Conclusions: the combination of imaging studies was helpful in establishing the diagnosis.
