An isolated aneurysm of the abdominal aorta in a patient with Marfan ’s syndrome – a case report

We present a case of successfully treated abdominal aortic aneurysm in a 24-year old patient with Marfan ’s syndrome. Following initial physical and ultrasound examination, the multislice computed tomography scan revealed infrarenal aortic aneurysm of 6 cm in diameter, 10 cm long, along with slightly dilated iliac arteries. However, dimensions of aortic root, aortic arch and descending suprarenal aor ta were within normal limits. Further on, since the patient presented with signs of impending rupture, an urgent surgical intervention was performed.
