1 Probable zoonotic aortitis due to group C streptococcal infection
Andres J. Gonzales, MD, John D. Hughes, MD, Luis R. Leon, MD, RVT  Journal of Vascular Surgery  Volume 46, Issue 5, Pages (November 2007) DOI: /j.jvs Copyright © 2007 The Society for Vascular Surgery Terms and Conditions

2 Fig 1 Initial computed tomographic scan, obtained on admission at the referring institution, interpreted at that time as aortic inflammation associated with intimal irregularities, consistent with bacterial aortitis. The aorta was measured in its maximum diameter as 2.5 cm. Journal of Vascular Surgery  , DOI: ( /j.jvs ) Copyright © 2007 The Society for Vascular Surgery Terms and Conditions

3 Fig 2 Repeated abdominal computed tomographic scan 2 weeks after the initial study, revealing worsening of the periaortic inflammation. The aorta now measured 3 cm in maximum diameter. This prompted surgical consultation and, eventually, surgical intervention. Journal of Vascular Surgery  , DOI: ( /j.jvs ) Copyright © 2007 The Society for Vascular Surgery Terms and Conditions

4 Fig 3 Repeated abdominal postoperative computed tomographic scan, showing a tube aortic prosthetic graft and resolution of periaortic inflammation. Omentum was used to wrap the newly placed prosthetic graft. Journal of Vascular Surgery  , DOI: ( /j.jvs ) Copyright © 2007 The Society for Vascular Surgery Terms and Conditions

5 Fig 4 Follow-up computed tomographic scan 18 months after surgical intervention reveals a stable appearance of the infrarenal aortic prosthetic graft with no evidence of complications.
