AB Diagnosis  of  ruptured  abdominal  aortic  aneurysm  (AAA)  is  frequently  missed  or  delayed.  The  most  common  misdiagnosis  is  renal  colic.AAA  must  be  considered  in  any  elderly  patient  with  back,  flank,  or  groin  pain.Suspected  ruptured  AAA  requires  emergent  consultation,  with  the  goal  of  immediate  open  or  endovascular  repair.Patients  with  incidentally  discovered  AAAs  must  be  referred  for  surveillance  or  elective  repair.
