Popis: Mycotic aneurysms are aneurysms infected by bacteria or fungi. These may be secondary to an endocarditis, or they may be primary, and then are developed from a septicemia or bacteremia. The diagnosis, often difficult, is sometime only made during complications, the most severe of which is rupture. This diagnosis must be aided by new imaging techniques such as ultrasonography, tomodensitometry, magnetic resonance imaging. The treatment is medical (antibiotics) and surgical.
