The purpose of this exhibit is: 1. To describe the normal arterial structure and pathophysiology of mycotic aneurysms. 2. To review the clinical manifestations of mycotic aneurysms located in different parts of the aorta and its branches. 3.To depict the usual imaging findings with different modalities: ultrasound, CT, MRI and PET-CT. 4. To discuss prognosis and different treatment options. 5. To illustrate post imaging findings.

1. Normal anatomy and histology of arteries 2. Pathophysiology of infected/mycotic aneurysms. 3. Clinical presentation - Thoracic aorta - Abdominal aorta - Branches of the aorta 4.
