Reason: cardiac history, sharp abdominal pain radiating to back for 3 weeks, please r/o abdominal aortic aneurysm. Examination is somewhat limited due to patient body habitus and overlying bowel gas.ABDOMINAL AORTA: The visualized portions of the aorta are normal in caliber. The proximal aorta measures 2.8 x 2.1 cm. The mid aorta measures 2.4 x 1.9 cm. The distal aorta measures 2.3 x 1.9 cm. The iliac arteries are not visualized.OTHER: The proximal IVC appears patent. Increased echogenicity of the partially visualized liver.
1.Limited exam. 2.No abdominal aortic aneurysm identified.3.Increased hepatic echogenicity suggestive of fatty infiltration/parenchymal dysfunction.
