Infectious aortitis, an aortic infection, can occur without an aneurysm. Early diagnosis is crucial for preventing severe complications like rupture, even in normal-sized aortas.

Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Infectious aortitis is rare, typically linked to abdominal aortic aneurysms.
  • Cases involving normal-sized aortas are exceptionally infrequent.

Observation:

  • A 67-year-old presented with fever, fatigue, and abdominal pain.
  • Initial CT suggested a ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm with psoas extension.
  • Laparotomy revealed an infected aorta due to a retroperitoneal abscess, without aneurysm.

Findings:

  • Infectious aortitis and mycotic aneurysms are part of a disease spectrum.
  • Aortic infection can exist without aneurysm formation.

Implications:

  • Diagnosing aortic infection before aneurysm or rupture is challenging but vital.
