Infected aortic aneurysm is an uncommon, life-threatening disease. Early surgical treatment is crucial to survival. An early diagnosis could be made on CT in suspected cases, although CT features of infectious aortitis overlap with retroperitoneal fibrosis, hemorrhage, and lymphadenopathy. We report the case of an infected abdominal aortic aneurysm and describe the additional potentially useful CT finding of early infectious aortitis, which helps localize the abnormality to the aortic wall.
感染性主动脉瘤是一种罕见的、危及生命的疾病。早期手术治疗对生存至关重要。在疑似病例中，CT可作出早期诊断，尽管感染性主动脉炎的CT表现与腹膜后纤维化、出血及淋巴结病有重叠。我们报告一例感染性腹主动脉瘤病例，并描述早期感染性主动脉炎CT上另外可能有用的表现，这有助于将病变定位于主动脉壁。
