Pseudoaneurysm of the abdominal aorta diagnosed by color duplex Doppler sonography

A pseudoaneurysm of the abdominal aorta is rare, accounting for only 1% of all abdominal aneurysms. More than 1 imaging method may be needed to demonstrate an abdominal aortic pseudoaneurysm. We report a case in which the presence of continuous bidirectional flow in the neck of a pseudoaneurysm on color duplex Doppler sonography confirmed the diagnosis.
