Abstract
Background: Aortic dissection commonly affects the thoracic aorta and is associated with the high morbidity and mortality. But localized dissections originating from the infrarenal abdominal aorta are extremely rare and appear to have better treatment results than those with thoracic dissections.
Case presentation: A 52-year-old female was admitted to our hospital because of a half mouth history of lower back pain. Computed Tomography (CT) and three-dimensional Computed Tomography Angiography (CTA) showed a saccular infrarenal Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA), maximum diameter 70 mm, with dissection from the level of left inferior renal artery to the left common iliac artery. Open surgical repair was successfully performed without any complications.
Conclusions: Operation surgical repair may be advisable in patients with acceptable operative risk because of the possibility for full intraoperative exploration to rule out coexisting intra-abdominal diseases.
