INTRODUCTION: While open repair was the gold standard treatment of atherosclerotic abdominal aortic aneurysms, its place in the treatment of inflammatory aortic aneurysms remains controversial. AIM: To specify the place of endovascular repair in the treatment of inflammatory aneurysms. OBSERVATION: We report 2 cases of inflammatory aortic aneurysms. The first patient was followed for Behçet's disease and the other patient for Giant Cell arteritis 's disease. We noted a biological inflammatory syndrome. CT scan suggested the diagnosis of inflammatory aortic aneurysm. We have implemented a bifurcated stent graft for the patient with a Behcet's disease. For the second patient, we converted to conventional surgery. Corticosteroid therapy was prescribed in two cases with favorable evolution. CONCLUSION: Endovascular repair is a good alternative to surgery for inflammatory aneurysms. Medical therapy occupies a prominent place in its therapeutic management.
