  • Figure 1. CT scan of abdomen (with out contrast) done on the day of admission shows normal distal aorta. Severe vascular calcification is seen
  • Figure 2. MRI of lumbar spine done for evaluation of severe back pain showing T2 signal surrounding the distal aorta. The aortal appears to be enlarged with suspicion of mycotic aneurysm
  • Figure 3. MR Angiography of abdomen showing aneurysms in descending thoracic aorta, distal abdominal aorta, mid right common iliac artery and distal left common iliac artery
  • Figure 4. 3D reconstruction images from MR angiography demonstrating multiple anueurysms in thoracoabdominal aorta and common iliac arteries
  • Figure 5. Follow up CT angiography done next day showed leaking mycotic aneurysm of distal abdominal aorta
