Spontaneous Rupture of a Superior Gluteal Artery Mycotic Aneurysm

Gluteal artery aneurysms are uncommon among all aneurysms and are usually a result of trauma. Streptococcus viridans bacteremia has been described in rare cases of extracranial mycotic aneurysms. Despite a variable clinical presentation, mycotic aneurysms of the superior gluteal artery could be the...

description Gluteal artery aneurysms are uncommon among all aneurysms and are usually a result of trauma. Streptococcus viridans bacteremia has been described in rare cases of extracranial mycotic aneurysms. Despite a variable clinical presentation, mycotic aneurysms of the superior gluteal artery could be the cause in patients with unexplained sciatica pain. Here we report a very rare case of spontaneous rupture of a superior gluteal artery mycotic aneurysm in a patient with underlying infective endocarditis (IE) secondary to Streptococcus viridans.
