Abstract
An iliac artery aneurysm is defined as a localized and permanent dilatation of the artery with a diameter greater than 1.5 cm. We report the case of a 32-year-old patient who had been admitted to the André Festoc center for one month of evolving lumbar pain, and in whom the morphological work-up revealed an aneurysm of the right common iliac artery. The aneurysm was cured by flattening and interposition of a PTFE prosthesis. Post-operative management was straightforward. Initially, Bechet's disease was suspected in view of the genital ulcerations, but the ophthalmological examination was normal. Syphilitic origin was therefore considered, as syphilis serology can be negative in the primary phase.
