Pre-Rupture Aneurysm of the Juxta and Sub-Renal Abdominal Aorta in Early Pregnancy: A Case Report ()
ABSTRACT
Aneurysm of the abdominal aorta is the result of a weakening of the
arterial wall and corresponds to abnormal dilatations of the arteries defined
as an increase ≥ 50% of the arterial diameter compared to the normal segments. A long asymptomatic, abdominal aortic aneurysm can be a catastrophic
maternal-fetal situation due to the high risk of rupture induced by pregnancy.
A rare association between aneurysm and pregnancy poses a
problem of diagnosis and standardized management. The lack of knowledge of this
condition regularly leads to a delay in management, which is a source of excess
mortality. We report the case of a patient with a progressive pregnancy of 12
weeks of amenorrhea who presented with a large sub renal abdominal aortic
aneurysm with thrombosis and fissuring in order to discuss the diagnostic and
management aspects of this association.
