  • Title: Successful treatment of a tuberculous vertebral osteomyelitis eroding the thoracoabdominal aorta: a case report.
    Author: Falkensammer J, Behensky H, Gruber H, Prodinger WM, Fraedrich G.
    Journal: J Vasc Surg; 2005 Nov; 42(5):1010-3. PubMed ID: 16275463.
    Abstract:
    Mycotic aortic aneurysms are rare complications of systemic tuberculosis that affect very few patients. We report a case of a false aneurysm of the visceral segment of the aorta that was associated with tuberculous vertebral osteomyelitis. Both conditions were successfully treated with antituberculous chemotherapy and a combined surgical procedure, ie, aneurysm resection and homograft implantation, followed by orthopedic stabilization of the spine.
