“…This method should be recommended to allow natural vessel growth and avoid the graft-related complications. 13 With regard to growth, a notable follow-up finding in this case was that the diameter of the proximal right iliac artery acting as a distal aorta increased more than that of the left iliac artery, ie, 4 mm and 3 mm, respectively (Fig 3).…”

“…An AAA in infants may now be diagnosed and explored by ultrasound scan, magnetic resonance imaging scan, or computed tomography scan without aortography. 13 Two of the seven previously reported congenital AAAs were also diagnosed prenatally. 3,8 In all 7 patients, newborns presented pulsatile abdominal masses.…”

“…15,16 Aneurysm formation has also been associated with Takayasu arteritis, Kawasaki syndrome, and polyarteritis nodosa. 1,13,16 These causes must be ruled out for definitive diagnosis of idiopathic congenital aneurysm in children. In our case, there was no family history.…”

“…17 Altogether, this experience indicated that survival is closely correlated with early diagnosis and elective repair. 13 No consensus emerges about optimal surgical modalities that have included aneurysmorrhaphy, aortoplasty with a prosthetic patch, and bypass with different materials. However, it appeared that some aortic reconstruction techniques have significant drawbacks in childhood.…”

Congenital (primary) neonatal abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is an extremely rare truncular arterial abnormality among numerous congenital vascular malformations. Only seven cases have been reported as congenital origin in newborns. This report presents the case of a male infant in whom a 33-mm congenital AAA was diagnosed prenatally and was successfully treated 10 days after birth without exogenous graft material or aneurysmorrhaphy. Follow-up study at 39 months demonstrated excellent clinical, ultrasound scan, and computed tomography scan findings. Anatomic reconstruction with native vessels is the preferred surgical technique to ensure the child's potential for harmonious growth.

“…A normal-sized right common iliac artery is seen (white arrow). by Roques et al [4], the wall of aneurysm calcified, and thrombosis developed with sufficient collateral circulation and no signs of distal ischemia. Although many aneurysms are asymptomatic at presentation, indications for surgery include rapid increase in size, rupture, and compromise of adjacent organs or distal limbs.…”

Prenatal Ultrasound Diagnosis of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm With Fibrotic Occlusion in Aortic Branch Vessels

In a 35‐year‐old multiparous patient, an ultrasound scan performed at 32 weeks' gestational age for size less than dates revealed an appropriately grown fetus with a two‐vessel umbilical cord. Also noted were dilated, tortuous abdominal and pelvic vessels. A scan at 33·5 weeks confirmed the two‐vessel cord and noted a widely dilated abdominal aorta and a left foot 2 cm shorter than the right. Delivery at 36 weeks was followed by a neonatal course complicated by thromboses, renovascular hypertension, and a newly patent ductus with pulmonary hypertension. Successful ligation was followed by acute pulmonary hypertension, cardiac dysfunction and death. Autopsy findings included aneurysmal dilation of the abdominal aorta without evidence of arterial wall pathology. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
