Intra‐arterial gas, a clue for diagnosis of peri‐aortic inflammation due to infection

Abstract

Abstract We have presented a case of Salmonella‐induced infective aortic aneurysm in which the presence of peri‐aortic gas was a clue for diagnosis. The disease is clinically infrequent but potentially has a high mortality rate. Clinicians should consider this fatal disease from any trivial findings.
