Aorta - Bilateral Iliac Artery Aneurysms
Caption
This patient originally complained of right back pain as well as numbness along the thigh and knee. Starting from the abdominal artery, gliding inferiorly will eventually reveal the bifurcation of the abdominal aorta into the left and right common iliac arteries. In this scan, you can see both iliac arteries have enlarged diameters, indicating aneurysms in both.
