dc.description.abstractIntroduction: Iliac artery aneurisms are generally observed associated with abdominal aortic aneurisms. Iliac artery dissection happens to be one of the rarely encountered cases and very few cases have been reported in literature. We aimed to present a patient with both iliac artery aneurisms associated with left iliac artery dissection in this study. Case: A male, 34-years old patient applied to emergency service with complaints of abdominal pain and paresthesia in his left leg. There was no pain or loss of strength in the left leg of the patient, but there existed a numbness described by himself. The brain computed tomography (CT) of the patient was considered as normal but his abdominal ultrasonography was reported as an aneurismal dilatation in both iliac artery at bifurcation level on a nearly 3 cm-segment, reaching up to 3 cm at the widest section and a mural thrombus reaching up to 70 % stenosis within the vein lumen were observed. Thereon, the patient went through a CT-angiogram and as a result dissection was observed in the left iliac artery together with aneurismal dilatation and mural thrombus in both iliac arteries The patient was hospitalized in the intensive care unit of cardiovascular surgery clinic. Conclusion: In regards to the patients who apply to emergency services with complaints of abdominal pain, numbness in extremities, acute abdomen or neurologic symptoms atypically seen like loss of strength; we should also keep in mind aortic dissection and/or iliac artery dissection among our preliminary diagnoses.en_US
