Abstract

A 68-year-old man presented to the emergency department with a 3 day history of epigastric pain radiating to the back. This was associated with vomiting and light-headedness. On examination, his pulse was 110 and his blood pressure 130/35 mmHg. He had peripheral oedema and a raised jugular venous pressure. Palpation of his abdomen revealed a large tender pulsatile mass. His white cell count was 9.6 6 10 l and his haemoglobin, urea and creatinine levels were 11.5 g dl, 18.4 mmol l and 277 mmol l, respectively. A 16-slice CT scan of his abdomen was performed with image acquisition triggered by the detection of 150 HU in the aorta. Selected images from the scan are shown in Figures 1 and 2. What diagnosis can explain each of these images? Address correspondence to: Diane F Johnston, Colchester General Hospital, 2 Parker Road, Colchester, Essex CO4 5BE, UK.
