An arterial aneurysm is defined as a permanent localized dilatation of the vessel at least 150% compared to a relative normal adjacent diameter of that artery. Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is defined as localized enlargement of the abdominal aorta such that the diameter is greater than 3 cm. AAA is potentially life-threatening finding. AAA may be detected incidentally or at the time of rupture. We reported a case of fusiform type of abdominal aortic aneurysm in a donated cadaver which was found during the routine dissection of a 76-year-old male died of acute myocardial infarction in western Maharashtra. The dimensions were measured by using both manual and verniers caliper method. The dimensions were 7 cm in length, 3.5cm in width, 11 cm in circumference, unruptured and positioned below the renal arteries, just above the aortic bifurcation. Owing to the vital role of aorta in the abdomen, we believe that the knowledge of this vascular pathology will be enlightening the field of medicine.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
