[Rupture of an isolated iliac aneurysm].
Isolated iliac artery aneurysm threatening to rupture is a rare condition with a poor prognosis if not dealt with by the physician in a brisk and effective manner. Symptoms from an iliac aneurysm can masquerade as a range of symptoms from neighbouring organs or be almost asymptomatic before rupturing. A case of a 81 year old man, with symptoms of dizziness, fatigue and light lower abdominal pain, who developed sudden cardiovascular collapse, is presented.
