title: [Computerized tomography in the study of rupture of abdominal aneurysms].
abstract: The authors present the CT aspect of 3 patients with massive retroperitoneal hemorrhage, caused by leaking of aneurysms of the lumbar aorta (2 cases) and of the right iliac artery (1 case). CT is a first choice examination in studying suspect ruptured aneurysms; in fact it can show dimensions and place of the aneurysm, and it is also possible an exact evaluation of retro and intraperitoneal hematoma.
