Infected Intracranial Aneurysm in an Infant: Case Report

Neurosurgery, 1991
Abstract The case of a ruptured, infected intracranial aneurysm occurring in a 34-day-old child is reported. The child was brought for examination after a sudden onset of screaming and pallor, followed by focal seizures. Blood cultures grew Staphy-lococcus aureus, and a computed tomographic scan revealed a large hematoma in the region of

Infected aortic aneurysm and inflammatory aortic aneurysm—In search of an optimal differential diagnosis

Journal of Cardiology, 2012
SummaryInfected aortic aneurysm and inflammatory aortic aneurysm each account for a minor fraction of the total incidence of aortic aneurysm and are associated with periaortic inflammation. Despite the similarity, infected aortic aneurysm generally shows

Ruptured Infected Aneurysm of the Aorta Secondary to Appendicitis

EJVES Extra, 2005
We report a case of an infected aneurysm that developed in a previously normal aorta as a result of bacteraemic spread from appendicitis. Blood cultures and culture of the aneurysm wall grew Bacteroides fragilis.

Infective and Traumatic Aneurysms

Neurosurgery Clinics of North America, 1998
Traumatic intracranial aneurysms are rare lesions but should be considered in penetrating head injury, particularly in cases of low-velocity gunshot wounds or stab wounds to the head. Because most of these aneurysms are false aneurysms, treatment may require excision or trapping procedures.

Infected Aortic Aneurysm

Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, 1981
ABSTRACT: Aortic aneurysms may become infected. This unusual complication carries a highly unfavorable prognosis. In any patient with sepsis and a known aneurysm, spread of the sepsis to the aneurysm should be suspected if no other source of infection can be found.

Infected Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm

Southern Medical Journal, 1985
In the surgical literature, 37 survivors of infected abdominal aortic aneurysmorrhaphy have been reported. The diagnosis is suspected if a patient with fever, leukocytosis, and abdominal pain is noted on physical examination to have a pulsatile abdominal mass. Confirmation is best obtained with computerized tomography and angiography.

Infected Aneurysms of the Abdominal Aorta

Archives of Surgery, 1980
Infected aneurysms of the abdominal aorta are relatively uncommon, but potentially lethal if improperly managed. Two case reports emphasize the importance of the preoperative aortogram for accurate diagnosis. We stress the principles of total excision of infected tissue and revascularization in uninfected tissue planes. A useful vascular reconstructive

Salmonella Infection of a Ventricular Aneurysm

Clinical Infectious Diseases, 1992
We describe a diagnostically challenging case of infection due to a species of Salmonella in a ventricular aneurysm. Two-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography, gallium 67 scanning, and cardiac gated magnetic resonance imaging were required to make the diagnosis.
