Serial transverse and sagital computed tomography (CT) images. Images A and B were obtained on hospital day one, demonstrating a 4.3 cm fusiform infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm with mild wall thickening and hazy attenuation consistent with a mycotic aneurysm. Images C and D were obtained on hospital day eight, showing resolution of inflammatory changes. Images E and F were obtained on hospital day thirteen, again with resolution of inflammatory changes.

A computed tomography (CT) scan of the abdomen and pelvis with contrast demonstrated a 4.3 cm fusiform infrarenal aortic aneurysm with mild wall thickening and a diffuse distribution of stranding concerning for a mycotic aneurysm (Fig. 1A-B). Repeat noncontrast CT of the abdomen on hospital day seven showed stabilization of the aneurysm with resolution of inflammatory changes around the anterior wall of the aorta (Fig. 1C-D). Prior to transferring to a long-term care hospital a final noncontrast CT of the abdomen showed continued stability of aneurysm with complete resolution of inflammatory stranding encompassing the aorta (Fig. 1E-F).
