Aim: Ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is among the surgical emergencies with highest mortality, generally causes death in 90% of cases. Most AAA ruptures open into the retroperitoneal space, and are recognized by the classical triad of pain, hypotension, and a pulsatile mass. Unfortunately, only 25% to 50% of patients present with this triad; thus, many patients with ruptured AAA either remain undiagnosed or are falsely diagnosed with other diseases.


Case: A 75-year-old man presented to the emergency department (ED) with sudden-onset dyspnea, nausea, and left pelvic pain. Imaging studies revealed aneurysmal dilation of abdominal aorta, inferior to the origin of the renal artery, and intraabdominal free fluid. The patient was consulted with the department of cardiovascular surgery and urgently taken to operating room with the preliminary diagnosis of an AAA rupture.


Conclusion: Our report presents an unusually rare presentation of a life-threatening disorder. Early diagnosis, referral to vascular surgery, and possible open or endovascular repair are key to limiting AAA-related morbidity and mortality.

Rüptüre Abdominal Aort Anevrizmasının Olağandışı Bir Başvurusu: Olgu Sunumu

Amaç: Rüptüre abdominal aort anevrizması (AAA) mortalitesi en yüksek cerrahi aciller arasındadır ve vakaların %90'ında ölüme neden olur. Çoğu AAA rüptürü retroperitoneal boşluğa açılır ve klasik bulguları olan ağrı, hipotansiyon ve pulsatil kitle üçlüsü ile tanınır. Ne yazık ki, hastaların sadece %25 ile %50'si bu üçlü ile başvurur; bu nedenle, AAA rüptürü olan birçok hasta ya teşhis edilmeden kalır ya da başka hastalıklarla yanlış teşhis konur.


Olgu: 75 yaşında erkek hasta ani başlayan nefes darlığı, bulantı ve sol pelvik ağrı şikayetleri ile acil servise (AS) başvurdu. Görüntüleme yöntemleri, renal arterin çıktığı yerin altında yer alan abdominal aortun anevrizmal dilatasyonunu ve intraabdominal serbest sıvıyı ortaya çıkardı. Hasta kalp damar cerrahisi bölümü ile konsülte edildi ve AAA rüptürü ön tanısı ile acilen ameliyathaneye alındı.


Sonuç: Bu vakamız, yaşamı tehdit eden bir bozukluğun alışılmadık derecede nadir görülen bir presentasyonunu gösteriyor. Erken tanı, vasküler cerrahiye sevk ve olası açık veya endovasküler onarım, AAA ile ilişkili morbidite ve mortaliteyi sınırlamanın temel anahtarıdır.
