Abstract

Some of the pitfalls in the management of inflammatory abdominal aortic aneurysm are stressed in the presentation of six illustrative cases. Background data on the presumed etiology and common symptoms are provided. The diagnostic value of computed tomography for preoperative detection of the fibrosis surrounding these aneurysms and the differentiation from other conditions are also discussed.
