Detection of an asymptomatic gastroduodenal artery aneurysm by real-time and pulsed Doppler sonography.
We describe an asymptomatic gastroduodenal artery aneurysm detected by real-time sonography. This lesion had the ultrasonographic characteristics of an aneurysm except for its unusual location and the absence of turbulent echogenic flow and pulsation. Pulsed-Doppler sonography confirmed the diagnosis by demonstrating bidirectional flow with systolic acceleration in the anechoic portion of the lesion.
