The diagnosis of aneurysms of the abdominal aorta (AAA) belongs to frequent medicinal problems. In the majority of cases the natural history of the AAA is asymptomatic and the rupture is quite often the first symptom. The prognosis of patients with ruptured AAA is extraordinarily unfavourable in comparison with electively operated patients. That is why looking for patients with AAA, their dispensarization in the case of small size aneuryzms, elective surgical or endovascular treatment in the case of sizes bigger than 5cm and an urgent diagnosis and treatment of the ruptured AAA are necessary. This can save many lives in the elderly population. The article emphasises the problems of AAA starting with etiopathogenesis, clinical symptoms and ending with contemporary possibilities in diagnosis and treatment of the diagnosis.
