Abstract
A case of aneurysm of the abdominal aorta is presented. The clinical picture was suggestive of a pancreatic cyst, but the correct diagnosis was made on abdominal ultrasonography. Early diagnosis of the condition allowed removal of the aneurysm and implantation of a femoral by-pass. The value of ultrasonography in diagnosing aneuryms of the abdominal aorta is discussed. This completely safe procedure appears to supersede the reliability of invasive methods as a diagnostic tool and is recommended in cases of doubtful aneurysm since with early diagnosis and surgical intervention severe complications, including rupture, can be avoided.
