An idiopathic congenital abdominal aortic aneurysm with impending rupture in a 23-month-old boy.

Abdominal aortic aneurysms are distinctly uncommon in infants and children. These aneurysms, which are idiopathic in nature without any definite predisposing factors, are exceedingly rare. We present the case of a giant idiopathic congenital infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm with impending rupture in a 23-month-old boy, which was successfully treated with surgical repair using a cryopreserved cadaveric allograft. To the best of our knowledge, this is the oldest case and the third successful treatment of an idiopathic congenital abdominal aortic aneurysm repaired with a cryopreserved allograft in infants and children. Continued follow-up with multimodality imaging is required.
