A case of mycotic aneurysm of the abdominal aorta, arising as a complication of subacute bacterial endocarditis in a 75-year-old white woman, is presented. The dramatically expansile nature of this aneurysm is well documented. The history, clinical presentation, etiology, microbiology and surgical management of this rapidly progressive and often fatal condition are discussed through a review of the literature.
