Abstract:
Patient is a 72-year-old male who presented with abdominal pain and hypertension. Through bedside point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS), patient was found to have markedly enlarged bilateral iliac artery aneurysms with signs of impending rupture, which was confirmed on computed tomography (CT) angiogram of the abdomen/pelvis. Patient was immediately taken to the operating room for emergent repair of aneurysm, and was discharged from the hospital the next day. Point-of-care ultrasound is critical in diagnosis and guiding treatment in patients in the emergency department and should be considered in those with undifferentiated abdominal pain.
