Abstract :

Infective endocarditis originating from patent ductus arteriosus is lethal at times and bilateral pulmonary arterial mycotic aneurysm formation from showering of vegetation uncommon. The formation of aneurysm of upper descending aorta is rare in such cases. We report a case of extensive mycotic aneurysm of bilateral anch pulmonary arteries along with huge vegetation load in upper descending aorta probably due to ductal arteritis of a 7 years old girl. Aneurysmal dilatation was noted in bilateral anch pulmonary system and in patent ductus arteriosus. The child presented with pyrexia of unknown etiology under investigations. Multidetector Computed Tomography of chest gave us the conclusive diagnosis.
