Front

The findings in this sonogram are most suspicious for which of the following conditions?

a. pseudoaneurysm

b. dissecting aneurysm

c. ruptured aneurysm

d. aneurysm with chronic thrombus

d. aneurysm with chronic thrombus

A complex aortic aneurysm demonstrating smooth wall margins is identified in this sonogram of the abdominal aorta. The anechoic area represents the lumen of the aorta, and the complex area represents chronic changes in intraluminal thrombus. Chronic thrombus within an aneurysm may demonstrate a complex appearance mimicking a dissection or rupture.

A 65-year-old local farmer presents with a history of leukocytosis and an enlarging, pulsatile abdominal mass. The anterior, posterior, and lateral borders of the distal aorta are outlined by the calibers. On the basis of the clinical history, the sonogram is most likely demonstrating which of the following pathologies?

a. lymphadenopathy

b. arterial dissection

c. retroperitoneal fibrosis

d. mycotic abdominal aortic aneurysm

Media Image

Back

d. mycotic abdominal aortic aneurysm

The clinical history includes: leukocytosis and an enlarging pulsatile abdominal mass. The distal aorta measures 5 cm in height and 6 cm in width. Complex intraluminal echoes are also identified. Based on the clinical history, the sonographic findings are most suspicious for a mycotic abdominal aortic aneurysm.

a. pseudoaneurysm

b. pulmonary embolism

c. abdominal aortic aneurysm

d. stenosis in the common carotid artery

Media Image

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

A patient comes in to the clinic for an aortic ultrasound and dilatation of the mid artery is seen measuring 2.9cm, and is larger diameter compared to the more proximal segment. What is the most likely diagnosis?

a. pseudoaneurysm

b. arteriovenous fistula

c. ectatic aneurysm

d. saccular aneurysm

Media Image

Back

c. ectatic aneurysm

An ectatic aneurysm is a dilatation of an artery when compared with a more proximal segment. In cases of abdominal aortic aneurysms, the ectatic dilatation does not exceed 3.0 cm in diameter.

a. aortic dissection

b. aortic rupture

c. aortic stenosis

d. aortic coarctation

Media Image

Back

b. aortic rupture

Sudden severe back pain and free fluid in the retroperitoneum in a patient with a known abdominal aortic aneurysm are classic signs of aneurysm rupture, a life-threatening emergency.
