    Emergency computed tomography (CT) is the best imaging method for diagnosing ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms. It accurately shows aneurysm location and hematoma formation, aiding prompt treatment.

    Area of Science:

    • Radiology
    • Vascular Surgery

    Background:

    • Ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms (rAAA) are a life-threatening surgical emergency.
    • Accurate and rapid diagnosis is critical for patient survival.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the computed tomographic (CT) findings in patients with ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms.
    • To evaluate the utility of emergency CT in diagnosing rAAA.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of CT scans from patients diagnosed with rAAA.
    • Analysis of CT features including aneurysm size, location, and presence/extent of hematoma.

    Main Results:

    • CT effectively demonstrates the rupture site and associated perianunctional hematoma.
    • Specific CT appearances correlate with the diagnosis of rAAA.

  • High diagnostic precision was achieved with emergency CT.

    • Conclusions:

    • Computed tomography is the imaging modality of choice for suspected ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms.
    • Emergency CT provides crucial information for surgical planning and management.
    • CT offers a high degree of diagnostic accuracy in the setting of rAAA.
