Abstract |
A primary aortoenteric fistula is an uncommon complication of an abdominal aortic aneurysm, but can be fatal due to the high
risk of massive bleeding and sepsis. Rarely, an abdominal aortic aneurysm can cause vertebral erosion. We report uncommon complications
of an abdominal aortic aneurysm that caused an aortoduodenal fistula and lumbar vertebral erosion. To our knowledge,
this is the first case of an abdominal aortic aneurysm complicated by an aortoduodenal fistula and vertebral erosion simultaneously.
