Abdominal aortic aneurysm in a child with tuberous sclerosis
Journal of Vascular Surgery Cases, Innovations and Techniques(2022)
Abstract
Abdominal aortic aneurysm is rare in the pediatric population and even more uncommon in association with tuberous sclerosis. We have presented a unique case of a 3-year, 8-month-old girl who was successfully treated. She was admitted because of breakthrough seizures. A painless pulsatile abdominal mass on examination prompted an abdominal ul-trasound scan, which identified a large saccular abdominal aortic aneurysm. Urgent replacement of the abdominal aorta with a 12-mm woven Dacron graft was undertaken. A postoperative ultrasound evaluation confirmed the successful repair. She was growing well when examined 7 months after surgery.
