Nephrolithiasis while usually asymptomatic may sometimes present with mild abdominal pain. Aortic abdominal aneurysm (AAA) rupture however presents with intense abdominal pain and is a fatal condition. In both conditions computed tomography (CT) is highly diagnostic and contrast CT angiography is used to diagnose abdominal aortic aneurysms. In renal dysfunction extra measures need to be taken in order to use contrast agents. We present a case of a patient with end stage renal failure with nephrolithiasis and an AAA rupture fewer than 4 cm and highlight our diagnostic and treatment methods.
