Abstract
Ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (rAAA) is a life-threatening condition with a mortality rate approaching 100% if left untreated. Emergency surgery has a mortality rate of 50%. Ruptured AAA can prove hard to diagnose when not suspected. The classic presentation of rAAA is a male patient older than 60 years complaining of acute-onset abdominal and back pain. Signs of rAAA include pulsatile mass in the abdomen and hemodynamic instability. We present a patient with isolated acute testicular pain related to an AAA.
