The recent literature relating to saccular aneurysm of the abdominal aorta (520 cases) has been reviewed with especial reference to cases with rupture into the intestinal tract (fifteen cases) and those associated with symptoms suggesting urologic disease. A case, apparently anuria of three days’ a terminal event.
