[Inflammatory aortic aneurysm and retroperitoneal fibrosis. Report of 6 cases]. / Anévrismes aortiques inflammatoires et fibrose rétropéritonéale. Réflexions à propos de 6 cas.

ABSTRACT

The inflammatory aneurysm of the abdominal aorta is actually a well known and distinct entity. However its etiology is unknown and its clinical expression often remains a trap. The authors, through a six case experience insist on the surprising characters of the symptoms, and emphasize the contribution of the paraclinical triad (RSV, IUV, and CT Scan). They confirm the benefit of the surgical treatment on the aneurysm on the fibrosis decrease.
