Idiopathic right common iliac artery aneurysm in a three-year-old child - case report

The incidence of iliac aneurysms in children is unknown and there are only a small number of case reports in the literature on the subject. This article describes the case of a 3-year-old male patient with an isolated saccular aneurysm at the bifurcation of the right common iliac artery, of idiopathic origin, which was repaired by resection, ligature of the internal iliac artery and end-to-end vascular anastomosis. After 1 month of follow-up, he was diagnosed with asymptomatic occlusion of the anastomosis. The occlusion had no clinical repercussions because of collateral circulation and the child has had a favorable clinical course over the medium term.
