Abstract:
The case history of a patient with vertebral osteomyelitis due to a contiguous paraprosthetic aortic abscess is reported. This unusual complication may be associated with the indolent nature of paraprosthetic aortic infections. The diagnostic as well as therapeutic value of computerised tomography in this condition is emphasized.
