腰部椎間盤突出合併腹主動脈瘤破裂：病例報告暨文獻回顧

Abstract

Abdominal aortic aneurysm is a condition affecting nearly 4% of the elderly population. It has a potential for producing a wide range of symptoms, including abdominal pain and back pain. It is rare that abdominal aortic aneurysm presents with paraplegia. From literature review there have been very few reports of patients who sustained lumbar disc herniation along with ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm. We reported a 68-year-old man with a previously undiagnosed abdominal aortic aneurysm presenting with acute paraplegia. This patient had a history of lumbar disc herniation and was receiving pelvic traction. He survived after operation, but some long-term sequelae, such as paraplegia and incontinence, still persisted. Moreover, deep vein thrombosis developed during the admission. Based on this casereport, abdominal aortic aneurysm should be kept in mind when patients inflicted with low back pain, because delayed diagnosis may be associated with a poor outcome. In addition, the diagnosis and management of deep vein thrombosis are introduced in this article.
