We describe a case of IgG4-associated aortitis diagnosed in a 56-year-old patient presenting with fever and pain. Imaging confirmed thoracic aortic inflammation, which responded well to immunosuppressive therapy.
Area of Science:
- Cardiovascular Medicine
- Immunology
- Radiology
Background:
- Fever of unknown origin and thoracic/lumbar pain can indicate serious underlying conditions.
- Aortitis, inflammation of the aorta, requires timely diagnosis and management.
- Immunoglobulin G4-related disease (IgG4-RD) can affect large vessels, including the aorta.
