Abstract

We report a rare case of a 50-year-old man with multiple and repetitive anastomotic pseudoaneurysms associated with polyarteritis nodosa. The pseudoaneurysms were located at the aortic root and the ascending aorta. Infectious and congenital etiologies, as well as nonbacterial inflammatory diseases, were ruled out. Idiopathic aortitis or aortitis due to polyarteritis nodosa might fit the case.
