ABSTRACT

The presence of late aortic pseudoaneurysms is a rare complication associated to laparoscopic cholecystectomy, however potential high morbidity and mortality is common if present. Main symptoms are pain, ecchymosis and edema. The presence of a pulsatile mass is a distinctive feature as well as murmur or thrill, although the two latter are inconstant. We further present the case of a woman who underwent elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy, an aortic pseudoaneurysm below the renal artery was diagnosed and successfully treated with surgery.
