Pseudoaneurysm of the abdominal aorta diagnosed by color duplex Doppler sonography

J Clin Ultrasound. 1999 May;27(4):202-5. doi: 10.1002/(sici)1097-0096(199905)27:4<202::aid-jcu7>3.0.co;2-e.

Abstract

A pseudoaneurysm of the abdominal aorta is rare, accounting for only 1% of all abdominal aneurysms. More than 1 imaging method may be needed to demonstrate an abdominal aortic pseudoaneurysm. We report a case in which the presence of continuous bidirectional flow in the neck of a pseudoaneurysm on color duplex Doppler sonography confirmed the diagnosis.
