Summary

This study details an extremely rare congenital abdominal aortic aneurysm in a 1-month-old infant. The large 6 cm aneurysm required surgical intervention with a tube graft, highlighting a unique neonatal vascular case.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Vascular Surgery
  • Neonatal Medicine

Background:

  • Congenital abdominal aortic aneurysms are exceedingly rare, particularly in neonates.
  • Accurate prenatal diagnosis of abdominal aortic pathology can be challenging, with potential for misinterpretation.

Observation:

  • A 6 cm congenital abdominal aortic aneurysm was identified in a 1-month-old infant.
  • Prenatal ultrasound at 34 weeks' gestation initially misdiagnosed the aneurysm as a renal cyst.

Findings:

  • Surgical repair involved interposing an 8-mm polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) tube graft between the infrarenal aorta and its bifurcation.
  • Cardiopulmonary bypass was utilized for intraoperative management, including blood loss management and temperature maintenance.

Implications:

  • This case represents a neonatal abdominal aortic aneurysm of unprecedented magnitude in medical literature.
  • The etiology of this true aneurysm remains undetermined, necessitating further research into rare pediatric vascular conditions.
