Treatment of an aneurysmal dilatation of the ductus arteriosus with indomethacin in a premature infant.

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.
