Acute renal artery aneurysm rupture - a rare differential diagnosis of acute appendicitis

Thomas von Ahnen et al. Wien Med Wochenschr. 2011 Sep.

Abstract

A 50-year-old patient with symptoms of an acute appendicitis turns out to be suffering of a life threatening rupture of a renal artery aneurysm. We performed an emergency operation with the resection of this aneurysm. An imminent hemorrhagic shock made a targeted intensive medical therapy necessary.
