An aortic pseudoaneurysm is a contained rupture of the aortic lining where blood collects outside the vessel but is held in place by surrounding tissue. It can develop after trauma or surgery. An MRI may show an outpouching of the aorta consistent with a pseudoaneurysm. Finding an aortic pseudoaneurysm early may allow for urgent surgical repair before it ruptures completely.
