Irregular, lobulated saccular aneurysm arising from the right lateral aspect of the thoraco-abdominal aorta surrounded by a walled-off, peripherally enhancing fluid collection. The aneurysm and collection occur at the level of the aortic hiatus with thickening of the right diaphragmatic crus.
Case Discussion
This is a presumed mycotic aneurysm, which developed after a gram-negative sepsis secondary to pyelonephritis.
