Abstract

Two cases of infected abdominal aortic aneurysm (IAAA) caused by salmonella are reported and the computed tomography (CT) features are discussed and compared with the pathologic findings. Additionally, a review of the literature was performed. A well-enhanced para-aortic mass (PAM) beyond the calcified intima of the abdominal aorta on the CT, which was initially considered to represent a leakage from the infected aneurysm, was observed in 5 of the 6 reported cases (including ours) and identified as a pseudoaneurysm. In one case, multiple gas collections within the PAM were demonstrated for the first time in IAAA due to salmonella.
