Introduction: The etiologies of primary aortoenteric fistula include aneurysm (most common), foreign body, tumor, radiation therapy, and infection (e.g., tuberculosis, syphilis).
View Article and Find Full Text PDFKey Clinical Message: Brucella aortitis should be one of the differential diagnoses of inflammatory aortic aneurysms. In situ repair of intermittent aortoenteric fitulae and repair of infrarenal aortic aneurysm with synthetic graft can be used in clean scarred fistulae.
Abstract: Arterial aneurysms are very rare complications of Brucella infection.
aortitis managed with debridement, extra-anatomical bypass, and long-term antimicrobial therapy.
