Abstract
Bilateral Common Iliac Artery Aneurysm, a Case Report
Highlights
The role of point of care ultrasound for aortic aneurysm has been well outlined; the utility of iliac artery point of care ultrasound is not well defined
Common and internal iliac artery aneurysms in isolation without concurrent abdominal aortic aneurysm occur in approximately 0.03 percent of the population
Iliac aneurysms are significantly less frequent than other aortic aneurysms, even in studies done on the asymptomatic patients.[2]
Summary
The role of point of care ultrasound for aortic aneurysm has been well outlined; the utility of iliac artery point of care ultrasound is not well defined. There is utility in obtaining ultrasound of bilateral iliac arteries because it can require immediate management in the operating room. The ultrasound demonstrated a left iliac artery aneurysm measuring 5.99 cm, as highlighted by the orange circle.
