Mycotic tubercular abdominal aortic aneurysm: a case report.
J Shifa Tameer-e-Millat Uni Jan ;5(1):64-6.

The mycotic tuberculous aneurysm of the Abdominal Aorta is an extremely rare disease. An aortic mycotic aneurysm is a life-threatening condition caused by tuberculous infection. Tuberculous aneurysms of the aorta usually present as rapidly growing or ruptured pseudoaneurysms. Most of these aneurysms are of the pseudoaneurysm type. We presented a case of a 61-year-old man who was diagnosed with a tubercular abdominal aortic mycotic aneurysm associated with the posterior invasion of the vertebral body leading to discitis. The patient underwent a mycotic aneurysm repair with grafting. Even with a combination of surgical and medical treatment, a favorable outcome could not be achieved.
