Misleading symptoms were responsible for failure to make the diagnosis of symptomatic abdominal aortic aneurysm in 15 patients. The presenting complaints appeared to be specific for other diseases, such as genitourinary disease, diverticulitis, intra-abdominal neoplasm and functional large intestinal disorders. A correct diagnosis was ultimately made in 12 patients and aneurysmectomy was performed. In three patients, who died of ruptured aneurysm, the diagnosis was not made until postmortem examination. An awareness of the atypical symptoms of aneurysms, careful physical examination and appropriate x-ray studies will lead to the diagnosis of symptomatic aortic aneurysms. Early resection will result in a lower mortality rate.
