HIV associated aortitis causing rapid development of an abdominal aortic aneurysm

We present the case of a 68-year-old female with HIV, being treated with antiretrovirals, who presented with a symptomatic abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). The aneurysm developed within one week. The patient underwent endovascular aneurysm repair and her aneurysm completely resolved on follow up CT imaging 16 months later.
