Abstract
This report describes a 7-year-old boy who underwent successful surgical excision of a saccular aneurysm of the ascending aorta caused by giant cell aortitis. The aneurysm was removed by lateral aortorrhaphy without cardiopulmonary bypass. The clinical manifestations and appropriate surgical therapy of granulomatous aortitis in childhood are discussed.Entities:
