Chronic contained rupture of the aorta is a rare condition that may present with varied patient symptomatology. We present a case of contained rupture of an abdominal aortic aneurysm causing vertebral erosion in an elderly male patient who had chronic backache and presented to the emergency services with a recently developed throbbing epigastric mass. Early use of computed tomography enabled prompt diagnosis and the condition was managed by endovascular stenting. The clinical and imaging findings of this potentially fatal condition are described, awareness of which is important to the physicians, orthopedicians, surgeons, and radiologists.
主动脉慢性局限性破裂是一种罕见疾病，患者症状可能多种多样。我们报告一例腹主动脉瘤局限性破裂导致椎体侵蚀的病例，患者为老年男性，有慢性背痛，因近期出现搏动性上腹部肿块而被送往急诊。早期使用计算机断层扫描实现了快速诊断，该疾病通过血管内支架置入术进行治疗。本文描述了这种潜在致命疾病的临床和影像学表现，内科医生、骨科医生、外科医生和放射科医生了解这些表现很重要。
