A case of Salmonella aortitis with pseudoaneurysm formation involving the descending thoracic aorta is described. Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) was instrumental in establishing the diagnosis and leading to a successful surgical intervention. A high index of suspicion is required to make a timely diagnosis of Salmonella aortitis, and TEE should be considered in cases of possible thoracic involvement.
