Infrarenal Abdominal Aortic Cystic Adventitial Disease Detected on Ultrasound and Magnetic Resonance Imaging

TL;DR

This paper reports the first case of abdominal aortic cystic adventitial disease detected using ultrasound and MRI in an asymptomatic 55-year-old man.

Contribution

This is the first documented case of abdominal aortic cystic adventitial disease identified using both ultrasound and MRI.

Findings

An abdominal ultrasound revealed a para-aortic anechoic lesion without color Doppler signals.

MRI showed a cystic lesion consistent with cystic adventitial disease.

Abstract

Here, we describe a case of an asymptomatic 55-year-old male patient who underwent an abdominal ultrasound examination which showed a para-aortic anechoic lesion without color Doppler signals. A previously performed magnetic resonance imaging examination showed a cystic lesion with features consistent with cystic adventitial disease. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of abdominal aortic cystic adventitial disease detected with ultrasound and magnetic resonance images.
