Abstract

Aneurysm is defined as a localized arterial dilatation, greater than 50% of normal size of considered glass. In patients over 70 years, the normal maximum diameter of abdominal aorta is: up to 21 mm in men and up to 19 mm in women. Dilatation of 30 mm and over is called "aneurysm." Abdominal aneurysms, affecting 2-5% of those aged 60 years and more in men than in women, in a ratio 4/1. Most of aneurysms are arteriosclerotic, being the most frequent cause. There are risk factors for developing an aortic aneurysm, emphysema, genetic factors, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, obesity, male gender, smoking, trauma, infection. A 66 years patient arrived with low back pain, 7 months of evolution with osteolysis images of lumbar vertebrae and thrombosed aneurysm of abdominal aorta in multi-scan axial tomography, this being a rare clinical/radiological manifestation of abdominal aortic aneurysm.
