Introduction: In this report, we present a rare case of aortic aneurysm with associated left ureter obstruction and consequent hydronephrosis.Case presentation: A 62-year-old man was admitted for epigastric and periumbilical pain, extended in the spine, and anuria. As for associated diseases, he presented arterial hypertension stage II/III, chronic ischemic cardiomyopathy, acidosis, hyperpotassemia, spondylosis with radiculopathy, acute renal failure, renal lithiasis, and eating difficulties. After performing a CT scan, the patient was diagnosed with giant abdominal infrarenal aortic aneurysm with ureter compression, and retroperitoneal rupture with common and internal iliac arteries occlusion. We performed a xifo-pubian laparotomy with endoaneurysmorrhaphy and aortoiliac bilateral bypass using silver Dacron vascular prosthesis (16 × 8 mm in diameter). Douglas drainage was necessary, ending with laparoraphy. The patient presented a favorable postoperative evolution.Conclusion: Open surgery remains the gold standard method of treatment for large aortic aneurysms, given the inability of endovascular procedures to solve problems caused by compression.
