Abstract

Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a critical disease and is often asymptomatic. It can cause diminished lumbar blood flow. Impaired blood flow in the lumbar arteries is significantly associated with decreased diffusion in lumbar disks and may lead to progressive disk damage. AAA can clinically mimic upper lumbar disk herniation. Disk herniation is rarely seen in the upper lumbar region since the upper part of the lumbar spine is less mobile than the lower region. To the best of our knowledge, no reports have presented concomitant AAA and L2-L3 disk herniation. We describe a 48-year-old man treated for symptomatic AAA followed by L2-L3 disk herniation at an interval of 3 months.

Özet

Abdominal aort anevrizması (AAA) önemli bir hastalıktır ve sıklıkla asemptomatiktir. Lomber kan akışında azalmaya neden olabilir. Lomber arterlerdeki bozulmuş akış, lomber disklerdeki difüzyonun belirgin şekilde azalmasıyla ilişkilidir ve ilerleyici disk hasarına yol açabilir. AAA klinik olarak üst lomber disk hernilerini taklit edebilir. Lomber omurganın üst kısmı alt bölgeden daha az hareketli olduğundan, disk herniasyonu üst lomber bölgede nadiren görülür. Bildiğimiz kadarıyla, literatürde abdominal aort anevrizması ve L2- L3 disk herniasyonu birlikteliği ile ilgili daha önce herhangi bir rapor bulunmamaktadır. Biz üç ay arayla semptomatik AAA ve L2- L3 disk hernisi nedeniyle tedavi edilen 48 yaşında bir erkek hastayı sunuyoruz.
