Infectious aortic aneurysms: A case report and review of cases from the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region.
IJID Reg 2024 March
An infectious aortic aneurysm is a rare disease entity. We report a challenging case of a 29-year-old male presenting with chest pain and constitutional symptoms. The patient was found to have three pseudoaneurysms of the aorta on imaging, significant pathological findings of necrotizing granulomatous lymphadenitis from a supraclavicular lymph node biopsy, and a highly suggestive clinical picture of tuberculous aortitis. He was referred to vascular surgery for intervention and discharged on antituberculous therapy for 6 months. To the best of our knowledge, only five cases of tuberculous aortic aneurysms have been reported from the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, all with favorable outcomes. A high index of suspicion, early detection, and prompt intervention are essential in managing such cases.
