Neurological symptoms are uncommon in abdominal aortic aneurysms. This case highlights sciatic nerve root pain caused by an iliopsoas false aneurysm.

Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Neurology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) typically present with vascular symptoms.
  • Neurological manifestations of AAAs are rare and often secondary to embolic events or mass effect.

Observation:

  • A patient presented with severe sciatic nerve root pain, mimicking lumbar radiculopathy.
  • Imaging revealed a large false aneurysm within the iliopsoas muscle.

Findings:

  • The iliopsoas false aneurysm was identified as the direct cause of sciatic nerve compression and pain.
  • This case underscores the potential for atypical presentations of vascular pathology.

Implications:

  • Highlights the importance of considering vascular causes in patients with unexplained neurological deficits, particularly sciatic pain.

  • Suggests that iliopsoas hematomas or aneurysms should be included in the differential diagnosis for lumbar radiculopathy.
  • Emphasizes the role of advanced imaging in diagnosing rare presentations of abdominal aortic pathology.
