The CT images with sagittal and coronal reconstruction demonstrate a large abdominal aneurysm of the infrarenal segment with circumferential mural thrombosis, measuring 9 cm in the anteroposterior diameter, 11 cm in transverse diameter, and 17 cm in length. The common iliac arteries are also dilated.
