  • Title: Mycotic pseudoaneurysm of the descending thoracic aorta associated with vertebral osteomyelitis.
    Author: Reed DH.
    Journal: Clin Radiol; 1990 Jun; 41(6):427-9. PubMed ID: 2383961.
    Abstract:
    A patient with osteomyelitis of the lower thoracic spine is reported in whom computed tomography (CT) revealed a large false aneurysm of the descending aorta. Useful radiological signs of the diagnosis are described, namely a thin aneurysm wall, a multilobulated margin and deformity of the aneurysm by adjacent vascular and osseous structures. Mycotic aneurysms of the aorta have a high mortality and the CT demonstration of a pseudoaneurysm has a vital role in management.
