We describe the case of a 60-year-old diabetic man who was admitted to our hospital with keto-acidosis and rapidly developed sepsis and a mycotic abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) with branch involvement. Early and late findings on serial computed tomography (CT) examinations are presented. Awareness and recognition of early imaging findings associated with infectious aortitis and serial CT examination in cases of patients with sepsis and predisposing factors are essential for prompt diagnosis and treatment.
