Abstract
This report presents the surgical repair and postsurgical outcomes following a ruptured infrarenal aortic aneurysm with a maximum transverse diameter of 20 cm. Its association with acute lower limb motor deficit is rare. Open surgery of giant abdominal aortic aneurysms is often the only available treatment, favored over an endovascular approach in the presence of increased aneurysm size with dislodged abdominal organs, adhesions, and short and angled proximal infrarenal aortic neck, presenting significant additional surgical and anesthesiological challenges.
