Background:

Bacterial aortitis is a rare but severe vascular infection with a poor prognosis, even with surgical treatment.
Early and accurate diagnosis is essential for effective management of bacterial aortitis.

Observation:

The case involved an 80-year-old male patient diagnosed with Salmonella aortitis.
Clinical signs of bacterial aortitis can be non-specific, necessitating advanced imaging.

Findings:

Diagnostic imaging, specifically ultrasound and computed tomography (CT), proved highly valuable in identifying bacterial aortitis.
Successful intervention involved early surgical drainage, debridement, arterial reconstruction using uncontaminated tissue, and antibiotic therapy.

Implications:

This case highlights the importance of radiological assessment in diagnosing bacterial aortitis when clinical signs are absent.
Effective management relies on a combination of prompt surgical intervention and appropriate antibiotic treatment.
Improved diagnostic strategies and timely treatment can lead to better outcomes in patients with bacterial aortitis.
