RESUMO
The diagnosis of a thoracic aortic aneurysm in an otherwise healthy young woman is a very rare occurrence. The Authors report the case of a woman aged twenty-two in whom such an aneurysm was discovered the day after delivery. Physical signs and radiological documents are presented and early surgical treatment is described. The Authors made a survey of the world literature and emphasize the abnormally high incidence of aneurysms in women of child-bearing age. Etiopathological factors are detailed.

Treatment of infected aneurysms consists of operation, which depends on the location and pathologic type, and antibiotic therapy, before and at least six weeks following operation. The authors present a case of two consecutive aneurysms occurring in a patient with Salmonella infection. Full recovery was obtained after surgical excision of the aneurysms, prolonged antibiotic therapy, and cholecystectomy.
