  • Title: [Diagnostic value of ultrasonography in aneurysm of the abdominal aorta (author's transl)].
    Author: Szebeni A, Tulassay Z, Horváth T, Szabó I.
    Journal: Wien Klin Wochenschr; 1979 Jan 05; 91(1):12-5. PubMed ID: 425520.
    Abstract:
    A case of aneurysm of the abdominal aorta is presented. The clinical picture was suggestive of a pancreatic cyst, but the correct diagnosis was made on abdominal ultrasonography. Early diagnosis of the condition allowed removal of the aneurysm and implantation of a femoral by-pass. The value of ultrasonography in diagnosing aneuryms of the abdominal aorta is discussed. This completely safe procedure appears to supersede the reliability of invasive methods as a diagnostic tool and is recommended in cases of doubtful aneurysm since with early diagnosis and surgical intervention severe complications, including rupture, can be avoided.
