Abstract
An abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) in children is a rare clinical condition, with idiopathic AAAs even more atypical. We report a case of a 19-month-old girl with incidental findings of an infrarenal AAA and right common iliac artery aneurysm during workup for heart failure. Extensive genetic testing was unremarkable for connective tissue disorders. An aortic bi-iliac artery bypass with a Dacron graft from the infrarenal aorta to the right external iliac artery and left common iliac artery was performed. The patient achieved complete recovery and only required one oral hypertensive medication at 30 days of follow-up. Wide patency of the graft was observed on the 3-month follow-up computed tomography angiogram.
