Complicated left isolated internal iliac artery aneurysm (IIIAA) in a young man - An unusual presentation in a Tertiary Hospital in Ghana: Case report.

Generally, an aneurysm is a disease of the elderly due to the degenerative aetiological factor. Isolated internal iliac artery aneurysm (IIIAA) is rare, representing 0.3-0.5 % of all intra-abdominal aneurysms. It is a focal dilatation of the internal iliac artery alone with a threshold for surgical intervention set at 8 mm. Herein, we present an unusual presentation of a rare condition of a huge left internal iliac artery aneurysm in a young man with no identifiable risk factor complicated by left ilio-femoral deep vein thrombosis. Even though this is an interesting case study, the lack of facilities to do anaerobic cultures remains a major limitation in our setting.
