Einstein's sign is a syndrome similar to an acute cholecystitis caused by the rupture of an abdominal aortic aneurysm. In this paper we describe the evolution of the disease that the physicist suffered till it led him to death. We also revise other signs which could be found in some patients with ruptured or dissected abdominal aortic aneurysm.

Palabras clave : Aortic aneurysm; Einstein's sign.
