title: [Sonographic diagnosis of an aneurysm of the superior mesenteric artery].
abstract: This is a report on a patient with a mycotic aneurysm of the superior mesenteric artery proved by histology. Because of a marked intolerance of contrast media we abstained from angiography. It is shown that real-time sonography gives a definite diagnosis, if the multiple vascular structures of the upper abdomen are precisely identified.
