Acute Infectious Aortitis and Pseudoaneurysm from Early Signs to Rupture: Evolution over Time
Aortic infectious pseudoaneurysm is a rapidly progressive life-threatening infection that can evolve from infectious aortitis with periaortic stranding or fluid to saccular pseudoaneurysm, contained rupture, fistula, and free rupture, making early recognition and serial imaging essential to prevent catastrophic outcomes.
