Apresenta-se o caso de uma doente internada no Serviço de Medicina Interna com os diagnósticos principais de Traqueobronquite aguda a descompensar Insuficiência Cardíaca de base. À observação, para além do quadro respiratório/cardiovascular, a doente apresenta queixas álgicas lombares referidas a L1-L4, presentes mesmo em repouso, Murphy renal negativo e Lasègue negativo bilateralmente. Após revisão das radiografias lombares realizadas em internamento, é detetada imagem de contornos calcificados, sacular e localizada anteriormente aos discos vertebrais de L3-L4. Pela presença concomitante de abdómen pulsátil e diminuição dos pulsos periféricos dos membros inferiores, é pedida AngioTAC com o intuito de despistar provável Aneurisma da Aorta abdominal. O mesmo exame confirma a presença de volumoso Aneurisma abdominal que condiciona fluxo arterial numa das artérias renais, com consequente atrofia. We present a case of a patient admited in an Internal Medicine ward with the main diagnosis of an acute bronchitis and heart failure. At the observation, the patient referred pain to the L1-L4 area, that wasn’t relieved by rest, a negative renal Murphy and a negative bilateral Lasègue. During the review of the lumbar radiographs, it was detected a sacular figure of calcified borders, before the L3-L4 vertebrae. By the concomitante presence of a pulsatile abdómen and a decrease of the peripheric pulse in the inferior members, the medical team ordered an AngioCT to despite a possible Abdominal aortic aneurysm(AAA) . The exam confirmed a bulky AAA that impaired the arterial flux to the left renal artery.
