"GAS IN THE AORTIC WALL": A CT FINDING IN SALMONELLA ABDOMINAL AORTIC ANEURYSM.
Abstract
Two cases of Salmonella Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) in diabetic elderly are presented. CT scan in both cases reveal "gas in the aortic wall" which were seldom reported in Salmonella infection. This sign and other CT findings of Salmonella AAA are reviewed and discussed.
