Mycotic Aneurysm of Juxtadiaphragmatic Aorta- A Rare Complication of Tuberculosis
Journal Title: IJSR-International Journal Of Scientific Research - Year 2016, Vol 5, Issue 12
Abstract
Aortic pseudoaneurysm is a rare complication of tuberculosis. However the high prevalence of this infection in developing nations, HIV epidemic and emergence of resistant strains draws our attention to this potentially fatal but treatable complication. Previously, 32 cases have been reported related to all arterial systems from 1993 to 20131. We report a case of aneurysm of juxta-diaphragmatic aorta in a 50-year female patient, detected during evaluation for abdominal pain associated with spinal and pleural tuberculosis. The diagnosis was confirmed on contrast-computed tomography with usage of advanced post processing techniques. Clinico radiological features of this entity are highlighted to facilitate early detection and improved survival of fatal, but treatable condition
