Abstract:
Mycotic aneurysms of the carotid artery are a rare entity that can be fatal if not diagnosed promptly. We present a 60-year-old man with a tender left-sided neck mass due to a ruptured aneurysm of the left internal carotid artery. Cultures taken intraoperatively grew Salmonella enterica ser Dublin.
Insights
A rare and fatal mycotic aneurysm of the carotid artery was diagnosed in a 60-year-old man. Intraoperative cultures identified Salmonella enterica ser Dublin as the causative agent.
Area of Science:
- Vascular Surgery
- Infectious Diseases
- Microbiology
Background:
- Mycotic aneurysms of the carotid artery are uncommon but life-threatening vascular emergencies.
- Prompt diagnosis and treatment are crucial to prevent catastrophic outcomes such as rupture.
