Hypoplastic External Iliac Artery and Corona Mortis Aneurysm

Abstract

A 48 year old healthy man was referred with a swelling in the right groin. As an eight year old child he had experienced a traumatic injury of the right groin after a sledging accident, resulting in a short admission in the intensive care unit. He runs multiple times a week. (A) Computed tomographic angiography showed a hypoplastic right external iliac artery, hypertrophic internal iliac artery and (B) 2 cm aneurysm of the corona mortis. The corona mortis is a vascular anatomical anastomosis between the obturator artery and the external iliac or inferior epigastric artery, as in this case. The patient is currently under close surveillance.Image 1
