Giant pulmonary artery aneurysm associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection and Actinomyces odontolyticus sepsis : A case report
© 2024 The Authors..
Giant septic pulmonary artery aneurysms (PAAs) are rare but important entities, with few cases having been reported worldwide. Early diagnosis and prompt treatment are crucial in the management of such cases. We report a 56-year-old female patient presenting with fatigue, nausea and vomiting who was first diagnosed with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) and developed life-threatening giant infectious PAA secondary to SARS-CoV-2 infection and Actinomyces odontolyticus sepsis. The patient did not develop any specific symptoms, and enhanced computed tomography (CT) revealed a massive PAA of 5.6 × 4.9 cm in size at the left pulmonary hilar with normal pulmonary artery (PA) pressures. After multidisciplinary discussion and after considering the critical condition accompanied by sepsis increased the risk of surgery, endovascular treatment was the first therapy of choice for the patient; nevertheless, the patient ultimately opted for hospice care. This case report aims to raise awareness of PAAs, which are rare but potentially fatal complications of infectious diseases such as COVID-19 pneumonia and Actinomyces odontolyticus sepsis.
