[Ultrasound diagnosis of abdominal aortic aneurysm. Review of five cases (author's transl)]. / La ecografia abdominal en el diagnóstico del aneurisma aórtico. A propósito de cinco casos.

Five patients with aneurysms occuring in the abdominal aorta have been studied by means of arteriographic and echographic examinations. Suggestive clinical symptoms (pulsatile abdominal mass) were present in two cases, while the remaining three patients had doubtful symptomatology. Echography achieved and accurate diagnosis in all cases. Aortograms were useful in four cases, but a definite diagnosis was not obtained in the fifth case due to the presence of aortic fibrosis.
