Sumario:A chronic contained rupture is an extremely rare subtype of abdominal aortic aneurysm rupture. We report the case of a 59-year-old man with a medical history of traumatic lumber fracture 7 years ago. He presented to us with an asymptomatic irregular abdominal aortic aneurysm, and surgery was performed 1 week after he was hospitalized. Based on the medical history, imaging, blood tests, and pathologic results, we determined that the chronic contained rupture progressed from a localized abdominal aortic dissection. This case illustrates the need to follow the morphology of aortic aneurysms if chronic abdominal aortic dissection is observed.
