Spontaneous acute abdominal aortic dissection.
A case of spontaneous acute infrarenal aortic dissection, with extension to the right common iliac artery and proximally to just below the origin of the renal arteries is presented. This dissection did not involve the visceral vessels nor the iliac system. The diagnosis was made with ultrasonography and computed tomography, without the need for angiography, and confirmed during surgical intervention, in which, prosthetic replacement of the affected segment was carried out.
