Abstract

We report a case of spondylodiscitis concurrent with infectious aortic aneurysm caused by Candida tropicalis in a 79-year-old immunocompromised man. The patient underwent percutaneous drainage of the abscess and endoluminal exclusion of the aneurysm using a bifurcated stent graft. Micafungin was administered intravenously for 8 weeks, followed by a prolonged course of oral fluconazole. At the one-year follow-up, no recurrence was noted, and the patient could walk with a cane without low back pain.
