[Inflammatory aortic aneurysm and its relationship to urological disease: a case report and a literature review].
OBJECTIVE
To report a successfully treated case of inflammatory aortic aneurysm.


METHODS
A 57-year-old patient reported low back pain and urinary infections. An abdominal CT scan revealed a large inflammatory aneurysm in the abdominal aorta. An aortic bypass was performed with no complications.


RESULTS
Patient course since surgery has been uneventful, and currently has no symptoms.


CONCLUSIONS
Contribution of the radiographic team, mainly with the CT scan, is of great value both for differential diagnosis and adequate management and follow-up. Surgery is indicated to prevent aneurysm rupture, but an increased postoperative morbidity and mortality should be assumed.
