Non-typhoidal salmonella (NTS) is one of the main germs responsible for intestinal infections worldwide, and can present life-threatening extra-digestive complications such as endarteritis. A septic deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is characterised by intraluminal thrombus and venous wall inflammation and suppuration and has been rarely reported in the setting of NTS infection. We present the case of an immunosuppressed 83-year-old man who developed NTS sepsis, complicated by an infected and ruptured left internal iliac artery aneurysm and contiguous femoro-iliac septic DVT. Septic DVT ranks among the serious extra-intestinal complications of NTS infections and may be contiguous with an endarteritis site.

Formed by the union of the medial and lateral plantar veins, the posterior tibial vein, rising through the calf muscle, assimilates the fibular vein. The anterior tibial vein, a superior extension of the foot's dorsalis pedis vein, merges with the posterior tibial vein at the...
