چکیده

positive with Staphylococcus aureus. Because of the uncertain diagnosis, we planned computerized tomography (CT) of the chest. Computerized tomography revealed a pseudoaneurysm of the ascending aorta (Fig. 4). The patient underwent emergency aortic surgery. Although, intensive management and antimicrobial therapy was given, she developed multiple organ failure and died in the postoperative period. The present case demonstrates a mycotic aortic aneurysm, which is a rarely considered but serious complication of bacterial endocarditis. Mycotic aneurysm is an infrequent complication of arterial infection. Infected aortic aneurysm occurs about 0.7%-2.6% of all aortic aneurysms. Awareness and recognition of imaging features associated with infected aneurysms are all important for early diagnosis and institution of adequate therapy. Infected aneurysms are likely to rupture, with reported rupture rates of 53% to 75%. Urgent surgical intervention followed by long-term antibiotic therapy is the preferred treatment approach.
