Abstract

The CT findings in 2 patients with mycotic aortic aneurysms are presented. CT was helpful in establishing the diagnosis by detecting the presence of aneurysms surrounded by an abscess and reactive enlargement of the lymph nodes. CT should be the first investigation for patients with suspected aortic aneurysms and with fever of unknown origin.
