AbstractWe report a case of tuberculous thoracoabdominal aneurysm successfully treated by surgery. Computerized tomography was diagnostic for location and etiology. The therapeutic plan included antituberculosis drug therapy started before surgery, direct PTFE prosthetic replacement and omentoplasty. A survey of other reports dealing with tuberculous abdominal or thoracic aorta involvement shows that their frequency, as that of tuberculosis in general, is diminishing.
