Article Main Content

Chronic rupture of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm is a rare presentation although AAA and its frank rupture is well known phenomenon. Chronic rupture of AAA can be misdiagnosed due to non-specific presentation and absence of haemorrhagic shock. This case report discusses the presentation scenarios as well radiologic findings which may help diagnose a Chronic Ruptured AAA (CR-AAA) and will be helpful in prompt recognition and early management of the situation.

Keywords: Abdominal aortic aneurysm, chronic contained rupture of abdominal aortic aneurysm, chronic ruptured AAA
