An abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a disease characterized by an abnormal bulge or swelling in the aorta. It could be serious if left unobserved, and with time, it swells and eventually ruptures, resulting in massive bleeding inside, and, more likely, causes death. This report presents a case study of a 61-year-old male who presented with back pain; no other fatal symptoms such as breathlessness or rapid heart rate were seen. His abdominal ultrasound report showed the presence of a distal aortic dissecting aneurysm, resulting in rapid diagnosis and treatment.
