Rationale:Abdominal aortic aneurysm is one of the most common aneurisms. Patients presenting with secondary back pain should be given prompt medical attention. Herein, a rare case of a giant abdominal aortic aneurysm that was successfully treated with surgery is described.Patient concerns:A 33-year-old Chinese male suffered from Marfan syndrome combined with giant abdominal aortic aneurysm, and presented with back pain, fever, nausea, vomiting, abdominal distention, and constipation. After undergoing numerous tests, the patient underwent an abdominal aortic aneurysm resection coupled with artificial graft bypass. The patient's recovery was smooth, and he was discharged 14 days after the operation in stable condition.Diagnosis:Abdominal aortic aneurysm.Interventions:The patient underwent a surgery involving mass resection and artificial graft bypass.Outcome:The patient was discharged 14 days after surgery in stable condition.Lessons:Giant abdominal aortic aneurysms are rarely seen, and aneurysmectomy associated with prosthetic vascular graft repair is an effective and standard treatment for such aneurysms.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
