Abstract
Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a common chronic
degenerative disease of the abdominal aorta leading to progressive dilatation,
thrombosis, rupture and distal embolization. It is defined as exceed 30 mm or 50% increase in the normal diameter
of the vessel and it is an important cause of morbidity and mortality. We
report an exceptional case of an isolated AAA rupture in a 56 years old male with
a previously undiagnosed AAA. The AAA rupture appeared during abdominal
examination in the emergency department. It could be incidentally but also we want to
emphasise that phsical examination or manuplation of abdomen should be done
carefully if there are suspicion of AAA.

Abstract
Abdominal aort anevrizması (AAA) progresif genişleme, trombozis,
rüptür ve distal embolizasyona sebep olan abdominal aortanın yaygın kronik
dejeneratif hastalığıdır. Damar çapının 30 mm’den fazla olması veya normal
damar çapının %50 artması olarak tanımlanır. Mortalite ve morbiditenin önemli
bir sebebidir. Burada, daha önce AAA tanısı olmayan ve izole AAA rüptürü tespit
edilen 56 yaşında erkek hasta sunduk. Hasta acil serviste değerlendirilirken
rüptür gerçekleşti. Tesadüf eseri
olabilir, yine de AAA şüphesi varsa karın muayenesinin ve manüplasyonunun
dikkatle yapılması gerektiğini vurgulamak isteriz.
