A thoracic aortic aneurysm secondary to miliary tuberculosis was successfully diagnosed early in its course in an asymptomatic patient by computerized axial tomography with contrast enhancement. This non-invasive technique, performed on an outpatient basis, led to the rapid and successful treatment of the patient.
