An abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a disease characterized by an abnormal bulge or swelling in the aorta. It could be serious if left unobserved, and with time, it swells and eventually ruptures, resulting in massive bleeding inside, and, more likely, causes death. This report presents a case study of a 61-year-old male who presented with back pain; no other fatal symptoms such as breathlessness or rapid heart rate were seen. His abdominal ultrasound report showed the presence of a distal aortic dissecting aneurysm, resulting in rapid diagnosis and treatment.
腹主动脉瘤(AAA)是一种以主动脉异常膨出或肿胀为特征的疾病。如果不加以观察,可能会很严重,随着时间的推移,它会肿胀并最终破裂,导致体内大量出血,更有可能导致死亡。本报告介绍了一名61岁男性的病例研究,该患者出现背痛;未观察到其他致命症状,如呼吸急促或心率加快。他的腹部超声报告显示存在远端主动脉夹层动脉瘤,从而实现了快速诊断和治疗。
