Summary

Large common iliac artery aneurysms can cause non-vascular symptoms. This case highlights an aneurysm compressing the sciatic nerve, leading to acute sciatic pain.

Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Neurology

Background:

  • Iliac artery aneurysms are often asymptomatic until rupture.
  • Ruptured aneurysms have severe consequences.
  • Aneurysms can present with non-vascular symptoms due to compression.

Observation:

  • A patient presented with symptoms of acute sciatic nerve compression.
  • A large common iliac artery aneurysm was identified as the cause.

Findings:

  • The common iliac artery aneurysm was directly compressing the sciatic nerve.
  • This compression mimicked neurological conditions.

Implications:

  • Iliac artery aneurysms should be considered in the differential diagnosis of sciatic nerve compression.
  • Early detection and management of iliac artery aneurysms are crucial to prevent severe complications.
