Abstract
ABSTRACT A case is described in which a 55-year-old Nigerian woman of the Igbo ethnic group died suddenly of a rupture of an atherosclerotic infrarenal aortic aneurysm. Necropsy revealed several features usually associated with this condition, but which occur very rarely in the African Negro. The report of its occurrence in this part of the world may facilitate further research in forensic epidemiology.
