Abstract: (1306 Views)
Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) is a common vascular condition that its prevalence increases with age and predominantly affects men. Early diagnosis and treatment of AAA are crucial to prevent severe complications, particularly rupture. This article presents a rare case of a 68-year-old man with AAA complicated by intraluminal thrombosis. The patient's non-specific symptoms led to a delayed diagnosis. Eventually, CT angiography revealed an infrarenal aortic aneurysm measuring 84 mm in diameter and 128 mm in length, with thrombosis extending into the iliac branches. This case report underscores the importance of accurate differential diagnosis, the utility of advanced imaging modalities, and the therapeutic challenges in complex AAA cases. Furthermore, this study emphasizes the need to consider risk factors and pathophysiological mechanisms in managing this condition.
