Infectious aneurysms represent <5 % of cases [1] with a crucial and challenging diagnosis. Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Enterobacteria are mostly involved but unusual pathogens like Listeria monocytogenes can be responsible. Collecting data of these rare situations allows to improve diagnosis.

Stent-graft implantation is a widely recognized method for endovascular treatment of aortic aneurysms. In cases where the aneurysm involves the thoracic and abdominal aorta, repair including fenestrated and branched stent grafts provides a viable alternative. This approach, initially reserved for patients unsuitable for open surgery, has become preferred for anatomically appropriate thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms.

Ehlers-Danlos syndromes (EDS) are a group of connective tissue disorders associated with skin, ligament, blood vessel and organ abnormalities. Skin hyperextensibility, joint hypermobility and widened atrophic scars are characteristic of classical EDS. Vascular complications, though rare in classical EDS, can be life-threatening, and this necessitates one to look for vascular associations in non-vascular, such as classical, forms of EDS due to the heterogeneity of the syndrome.

An a (AEF) is a rare but life-threatening condition where an abnormal connection forms between the aorta and the gastrointestinal tract, most commonly the duodenum. It can be primary (arising spontaneously due to an aortic aneurysm or infection) or secondary (complicating prior vascular surgery). Immediate recognition and surgical intervention are critical to manage severe gastrointestinal bleeding and prevent fatal outcomes.

Although computed tomography (CT) is the diagnostic gold standard for acute subdural hematoma, the absence of clear trauma should prompt the use of computed tomography angiography (CTA) to identify potential underlying causes, such as ruptured aneurysms, which can significantly influence treatment decisions.
