Severe case of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA)

Clinical History

A 90-year old lady presented with a palpable lump towards the left side of the abdomen.

Case Description

Ultrasound revealed an 83 mm abdominal aortic aneurysm which corresponds to the palpable mass pointed by the patient.

Diagnosis/ Discussion/ Treatment/ Follow up

A subsequent contrast-enhanced CT scan of the thorax abdomen and pelvis confirmed this diagnosis. The patient was managed conservatively as surgery was contraindicated based on other comorbidities.
