  • Title: [Mycotic visceral artery aneurysm: clinical picture, diagnosis, differential therapy, and discussion of the literature].
    Author: Grotemeyer D, Grabitz K, Balzer K, Reinecke P, Poll L, Sandmann W.
    Journal: Chirurg; 2004 May; 75(5):533-40. PubMed ID: 15007529.
    Abstract:
    Bacterially infected arterial aneurysms were named mycotic aneurysms by William Osler in 1885 due to their morphology. This rare vascular disease is mainly localized in the femoral artery but also occurs in the aorta and visceral arteries. After the first surgically treated mycotic visceral aneurysm in 1949, we found 36 casuistics in the literature. We report on two patients treated in our department with mycotic visceral aneurysms and discuss the literature concerning topography, differential diagnosis, and surgical management.
