Zusammenfassung
Wir berichten über einen seltenen Fall eines Lumbalarterienaneurysmas. Ein 54 Jahre alter männlicher Patient wurde über Jahre hinweg mit der Fehldiagnose eines chronischen infrarenalen Bauchaortenaneurysmas behandelt. Ein 64-Zeilen Spiral-CT ergab schließlich die Diagnose eines großen Lumbalarterienaneurysmas. Die Schlussfolgerung aus diesem Fall ist, dass ein Lumbalarterien- oder akzessorisches Nierenarterienaneurysma bei einer Erweiterung der distalen Bauchaorta differentialdiagnostisch berücksichtigt werden muss und ein hochauflösendes Spiral-CT zur Primärdiagnostik durchgeführt werden sollte. Abstract
The purpose of this report is to present a rare case of lumbar artery aneurysm. We report the case of a 54-years-old male patient who was misdiagnosed over years having a chronic infrarenal aortic aneurysm. A 64-slice CT at our institution revealed a large lumbar artery aneurysm. The conclusion of this case report is that a lumbar or accessory renal artery aneurysm has to be taken into consideration if there is a localized enlargement of the lower abdominal aorta and a high resolution CT-scan is strongly recommended to make the exact diagnosis. Key wordsaccessory inferior renal artery - Lumbar artery aneurysm - multi-slice CT
