Abstract
Abdominal aortic aneurysm is a common condition and many a times asymptomatic. The
mortality rate is high when it presents with rupture. However, a chronic contained rupture
may remain undiagnosed for several weeks to months due to highly variable clinical
presentation. Delay in the diagnosis and thereby delay in the treatment lead to worse
clinical outcomes in patient experienced chronic contained rupture. We are here
presenting a case of an adult patient who experienced rupture of infrarenal aortic
aneurysm along with retroperitoneal hematoma. The abdominal aortic aneurysm was
diagnosed after several months of rupture as the rupture occurred into the
retroperitoneal cavity and remained confined in the retroperitoneal cavity. We
successfully treated the patient by deploying a stent percutaneously.
