Abstract
Acute spontaneous isolated common and external iliac dissection with aneurysm is a very rare entity involving high morbidity and mortality, with only few reports in literature. If not treated promptly, they have high morbidity or mortality in case they rupture. We report a case of similar dissection with aneurysmal formation managed with percutaneous stent-graft placement. This is a unique case where aorta was not involved and patient presented to us in stable hemodynamic status in spite of a contained rupture at the dissected site.
