title: [Inflammatory aneurysm of the aorta. Value of x-ray computed tomography and ultrasonography in the diagnosis of a case and review of the literature].
abstract: Until recently inflammatory aneurysm of the aorta was discovered only at the time of surgery and confirmed by the pathologist. New imaging modalities, such as ultrasound and CT-scan now enable the radiologist to diagnose this entity before surgery, thus leading to a better surgical planning and reducing the operative morbidity. The authors report a case of inflammatory aneurysm of the aorta and review the literature on this entity.
