Clinical Information
- An abdominal aortic aneurysm happens when the aorta weakens, stretches, and bulges. If it inflates or becomes too big, there’s a chance for the aorta to burse and cause internal bleeding.
- Symptoms only occur when the aneurysm puts pressure on the surrounding organs or ruptures. If it’s the former, the patient will feel a pulsating in the abdomen, have a fever, have unexplained weight loss, and a pain in the chest, bellow, lower back, groin, legs or buttocks, or toes. If it’s the latter, the patient will feel a sudden pain in the back/abdomen that can spread to the legs or buttocks, have clammy skin, have an increased heart rate, and be shocked or lose consciousness.
- Usually, an abdominal aortic aneurysm is discovered when it’s ruptured or when they examine/scan one’s abdomen. They may either palpate the patient’s stomach and have them undergo tests like CT scans, chest X-rays, and an abdominal ultrasound or MRI.
- Medical researchers haven’t determined the cause of an abdominal aortic aneurysm. However, those who are at risk are those who smoke, have hypertension, have vasculitis, are above 60 years of age, are male, are overweight/obese, live an inactive lifestyle, have a family history of aneurysms, and experienced trauma in the abdomen or torso.
- Treatment for an abdominal aortic aneurysm is monitoring for smaller sizes and surgery for large or ruptured ones.
Synonyms Include:
- Injury of abdominal aorta
- Leaking abdominal aortic aneurysm
- Ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm
- Abdominal aortic aneurysm without rupture
- Enlarging abdominal aortic aneurysm
