Chronic Thrombosed Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms: A Report on Three Consecutive Cases and Literature Review
Spontaneous thrombosis of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is an uncommon condition. Chronic thrombosed AAA are related to occlusive iliac disease and often present with intermittent claudication. However, the symptoms related to expansion of the aneurysm and risk of rupture must be considerable, even in thrombosed aorta. We present our experience with three consecutive cases of chronic thrombos...

متن کاملNeuropsychiatric Symptoms in Patients with Aortic Aneurysms
BACKGROUND Emerging evidence suggests that vascular disease confers vulnerability to a late-onset of depressive illness and the impairment of specific cognitive functions, most notably in the domains of memory storage and retrieval. Lower limb athero-thrombosis and abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) have both been previously associated with neuropsychiatric symptoms possibly due to associated intr...
متن کاملDiscrete Abdominal Aortic Stenosis Presenting With Bilateral Lower Limb Claudication A Case Report
Localized discrete abdominal aortic stenosis leading to bilateral lower limbs claudication is uncommon in Asians, especially among women. We report on the case of a 63-year-old woman with localized discrete abdominal aortic stenosis manifested as claudication in her bilateral lower extremities. A magnetic resonance angiography showed a short and asymmetric abdominal aortic stenosis at the third...
