It has a multicausal pathology that ultimately destroys the tunica media and alters the conformation of the collagen fibers of the arterial wall. The main causes include atherosclerosis, hereditary diseases (such as Marfan syndrome), inflammatory pathologies and low prevalence of infectious agents (Salmonella, staphylococcus, Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Treponema pallidum). We present the case of a patient with an aneurysm of syphilitic origin, considered a medical rarity in developed countries. There are no reports in the country on cases of cardiovascular tertiary syphilis. It is complemented with a scientific literature review of epidemiology, clinical diagnosis and management. |
