Salmonella Bacteremia Causing Mycotic Pseudoaneurysm of Right Common Iliac Artery Complicated by Septic Caval Thrombosis
Abstract: Mycotic pseudoaneurysm (MPA) is a blind, saccular outpouching of the arterial lumen of infective origin. MPA is a rare life-threatening condition and if not treated early, has a 67% mortality rate due to sepsis and hemorrhage. Major predisposing factors are diabetes mellitus, chronic renal failure, malignancy, steroids, and intravenous drug use. Imaging modalities include Doppler ultrasound, contrast-enhanced computed tomography, and digital subtraction angiography. We report a unique case of Salmonella bacteremia-related MPA of the right common iliac artery complicated by septic inferior vena cava (IVC) thrombosis in a patient with uncontrolled diabetes. Such transcompartmental involvement of IVC has hitherto not been described in the literature and hence makes for interesting documentation. This case ponders upon the aggressiveness of the invasive nontyphoidal Salmonella infection pathogen and the need for early imaging of suspicious patients to reduce morbidity and mortality.
