True aneurysm formation in a 6-month-old child.
A patient had a true aneurysm of the left iliac artery, first noted at 6 months of age. The aorta was normal and no septic course could be documented. Furthermore, the umbilical artery catheter tip did not lie in the vicinity of the aneurysm. To our knowledge, this is a heretofore unreported event.
