Abstract
Introduction: Isolated internal iliac artery aneurysms in the absence of aorto-iliac disease are exceedingly rare. The case of a 41 year old woman who presented after experiencing several weeks of lower abdominal pain is reported. She was diagnosed with a large, isolated right internal iliac artery aneurysm.
Report: Patient medical records were reviewed retrospectively. The patient underwent genetic evaluation, after which she was diagnosed with Loeys-Dietz syndrome type I. Given her age and heritable aortic disease, her aneurysm was treated by open surgical repair via a right retroperitoneal approach with an interposition bypass graft. The patient's hospital course was uneventful, and she was discharged home in good condition.
Discussion: This report demonstrates an open surgical technique to treat an isolated iliac aneurysm in a patient with underlying heritable vascular disease.
