Fulltext PDFThe pathological involvement of the aorta with atherosclerotic damage, infectious process or immune dysregulation can co-occur and may have some mimicry symptoms in common. This is becoming more apparent in the current era where there is mixed population with immigrations, increased life expectancy and co-occurrence of infectious etiologies in the setting of COVID 19, aortopathy, and atherosclerotic pathology all in one single patient. We herein, present a case of an 83-years Hispanic female in whom chest X ray revealed mediastinal widening. The patient presented with COVID 19 pneumonia. CT Chest revealed the incidental finding of a massive Thoracic Aorta Aneurysm (TAA). Patient was treated for the COVID 19 pneumonia. She remained asymptomatic from the TAA and opted for conservative medical management as the choice of care. Six-month follow-up showed evidence of repeated hospitalization and complications.
