- Title

- Authors
Phade, Sachin V.; deFreitas, Dorian; Powell, Charles S.; Stoner, Michael
- Abstract
Arteritis and mycotic aneurysms have been well described for more than 100 years. The authors report a case of bacterial arteritis that presented with pneumatosis of the aortic wall and that evolved over 1 week into an infected abdominal aortic aneurysm. This case documents the rapid progression from arteritis to mycotic aneurysm, highlighting the need for close radiologic follow-up and aggressive medical and surgical management.
