title: Chronic Paraspinal Pain due to Multiple Aortic Aneurysms.
abstract: Aneurysms of the aorta are not uncommon, both of the thoracic aorta or the abdominal aorta and may be associated with congenital aortic valve diseases, cystic medial necrosis, Marfan's Syndrome or Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, or atherosclerosis. We report a case of a 46 year old smoker who had developed multiple aneurysms of the aorta in both the thoracic and abdominal parts and was incidentally diagnosed on work-up of a chronic back pain associated with venous prominence on left side of chest and left arm.
