Summary: The presence of abdominal or back pain, weight loss and elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate is characteristic of the inflammatory abdominal aortic aneurysms. Low-grade fever is sometimes identified. Other inflammatory markers, such as white blood cell count, C reactive protein, anti-nuclear antibody and IgG4 levels can be elevated. Computed tomo­graphy is the exam of choice, showing characteristically the mantle sign. Steroids improve the symptomatology and reduce inflammation, but do not treat the aneurysm. The choice of interventions: open surgical repair or endovascular aneurysm repair can be considered according to the available expertise, patient risk factors, anatomic aneurysm criteria and presence of hydronephrosis.
