Multiple aneurysms associated with congenital rubella.
We describe the case of a woman with congenital rubella who presented with backache. Plain abdominal X-ray revealed calcification of a superior mesenteric artery aneurysm. Intra-arterial digital subtraction angiography demonstrated multiple aneurysms of the arteries to the upper and lower limbs and the viscera. We have not found another report in the literature of the association of congenital rubella with multiple aneurysms.
