Ruptured internal iliac artery aneurysm mimicking a hip fracture

Int Angiol. 2001 Jun;20(2):187-9.

Abstract

Internal iliac artery aneurysms are difficult to detect due to their wide range of clinical presentations. The mortality rate from ruptured internal aortic aneurysms is particularly high in part because of delayed diagnosis. This report reviews the management of a patient with a ruptured internal iliac artery aneurysm which presented mimicking a hip fracture.
