Abstract

Primary infection of aorta, in absence of atherosclerosis, leading to aneurysm formation occurs in less than 1% of cases. Early diagnosis and surgical treatment is important to offset associated poor prognosis. A preoperative diagnosis is often missed due to non specific presentation. Computed Tomography (CT) can confirm the diagnosis in suspected cases. Confirmation of diagnosis often warrants deviation from usual surgical techniques of management of abdominal aortic aneurysm. A case is described, of a young male patient, detected to have an infected aortic aneurysm intraoperatively. He could be successfully managed by in-situ aorto-bi iliac grafting.
