[Traumatic pseudoaneurysm of the abdominal aorta. Case report].
Abdominal aortic pseudoaneurysms are rare in clinical practice, mainly when they are related to a blunt abdominal trauma. Clinical presentation is often vague, but they can cause symptoms related to the compression of adjacent organs or structures. The authors report the clinical case of a man, aged 47 years old, who developed a pseudoaneurysm of the terminal aorta, following an abdominal blunt trauma, consequence of a traffic accident, who underwent successful surgical treatment.
