Abstract

A thoracic mycotic aortic aneurysm is an uncommon entity that can complicate mediastinal abscesses. Gemella morbillorum and Capnocytophaga sp. are oral bacteria that are very rarely encountered in this setting, especially when occurring together and with other organisms, posing a difficult treatment challenge per the available guidelines and sensitivities. We present in detail this interesting case of a multi-organism mediastinal abscess and thoracic mycotic aortic aneurysm after a previous esophagogastroduodenoscopic procedure in a 51-year-old female with known achalasia who presented with upper abdominal pain, including a successful surgical and antibiotic treatment regimen and a literature review of the involved topics.
