Özet
A 38-year old woman with mid-epigastric pain, diarrhea, and weight loss, underwent resection of a superior mesenteric artery aneurysm and primary repair of the artery. Pathological examination showed degenerative atherosclerotic changes, marked medial and intimal thickening, and vegetations. Microbiological studies demonstrated Streptococcus viridans as the infecting organism of this mycotic aneurysm. The patient made a good recovery and remained well after 3 years.
