Abstract

Abdominal aorta is the major arterial avenue to supply oxygenated blood to human body.Its luminal diameter,thickness and tortuosity are predisposing factors for variation of blood pressure. We report a case where there is buckling of the abdominal aorta in an elderly female.In the present cadaveric study we have analysed the possible factors that might produce such deformity. The knowledge of anatomic characteristics of abdominal aorta , and early detection by clinical symptoms and radiological diagnosis can prevent catastrophe.
