    Author: Saxena P, Sivapathasingam V, Vicaretti M, Costa RJ.
    Journal: Heart Lung Circ; 2009 Aug; 18(4):294-5. PubMed ID: 19643372.
    Abstract:
    Inflammatory aneurysms of thoracic aorta are rare. Of all the aneurysms, only 5-10% are inflammatory in nature and are almost exclusively confined to the infrarenal segment of the aorta. We hereby present a patient with a large inflammatory aneurysm involving the thoracic aorta in association with mediastinal fibrosis and idiopathic retroperitoneal fibrosis.
