Abstract

A large ductus arteriosus aneurysm can lead to potentially serious and life-threatening complications. We report a case of aneurysmal dilatation of the ductus arteriosus in a premature infant that was successfully treated with indomethacin. Thus, surgical intervention with general anesthesia could be avoided.
