Аннотация
BACKGROUND: This study was designed to determine when to consider incidental retroperitoneal masses on the basis of a displaced calcified atheromatous abdominal aorta on lateral radiographs.
METHODS: We did a retrospective review of 143 normal abdominal helical computed tomography scans of individuals aged 50 years and older to measure the distance between the posterior aortic wall and anterior cortex of vertebral bodies from T12 through L3.
RESULTS: The normal abdominal aorta maintains a close relationship to the vertebral column. The distance should not be more than 10 mm in men and 7.3 mm in women.
CONCLUSION: Displacement of aortic calcified atheroma greater than these distances should prompt a search for a retroperitoneal mass.
