Abdominal aortic aneurysm in a premature neonate with disseminated candidiasis: ultrasound and angiography.
When using ultrasound for detection of kidney enlargement, we found an acute abdominal aortic aneurysm secondary to aortitis following umbilical artery catheterisation in a premature neonate with systemic candidiasis. Aortography was performed to provide vascular details such as involvement of celiac, renal, iliac and femoral arteries.
