A traumatic pseudoaneurysm of the abdominal aorta eluded detection at initial laparotomy, but was later detected serendipitously. Early abdominal x-ray film and appreciation of paraspinal bullet fragments could have led to its earlier detection. A portable abdominal x-ray film should be a routine part of the preoperative resuscitation of abdominal gunshot wounds.
