Rupture of an aneurysm is a rare complication although it is considered a common cause of death. Some of these patients present with the classic triad of symptoms such as abdominal pain, pulsatile abdominal mass and shock. Most symptoms are misleading and will only present as vague abdominal pain. Here we describe one such patient with an unusual presentation of a misleading abdominal mass which was eventually diagnosed as a ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm after an emergency MRI.
动脉瘤破裂是一种罕见的并发症，尽管它被认为是常见的死亡原因。其中一些患者会出现腹痛、腹部搏动性肿块和休克等典型三联征症状。大多数症状具有误导性，仅表现为模糊的腹痛。在此，我们描述了这样一位患者，其出现了一个具有误导性的腹部肿块的不寻常表现，最终在紧急MRI检查后被诊断为腹主动脉瘤破裂。
