A Case of Primary Aortoduodenal Fistula and Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm in a Patient with Chronic Q Fever.

چکیده
A 70-year-old man was successfully treated for an aortoduodenal fistula originating from a Q fever-related abdominal aortic aneurysm. He had no known history of contact with cattle or sheep. Although the combination of abdominal aortic aneurysm and aortoduodenal fistula is rare, one should be suspicious of Q fever infection as the causative agent, and additional medical treatment should be initiated.

When such a fistula occurs in the absence of previous aortic aneurysm surgery, it is called a primary aortoduodenal fistula (PADF), a condition much less frequent than a secondary aortoduodenal fistula which occurs as a result of previous aortic aneurysm grafting. Th...
