Abstract
Aortic aneurysms may mimick typical urologic syndromes. Aneurysmal rupture calls for an immediate angiosurgical intervention. Surgical mortality amounts to approximately 50 per cent. Surgery for aneurysms in a symptomfree state, while rupture is still absent, is of definite benefit to the survival rate. This consideration is crucial to the therapy of aneurysms, whether detected as an incidental finding or identified as the cause of a urological syndrome.
