Fever of unknown origin, with a twist.

Ronstan Lobo1, Brendan Meany, Rory O'Hanlon, Thomas John Kiernan.   

Abstract

The authors present a case of an 81-year-old man with fever of unknown origin. The case report is illustrated with the images which clarified the diagnosis in this challenging case. The cardiac MR images were of critical importance in arriving at a diagnosis of aortic root mycotic pseudoaneurysm with rupture into the right ventricle.
