Mycotic Aneurysm of Both Internal Iliac Arteries due to Candida albicans

We report the case of a 21-year-old man, with a Candida -related endocarditis causing multiple emboli and bilateral false aneurysms of the internal iliac arteries. As the distal runoff vasculatures of both internal iliac arteries were occluded, these arteries required ligation. Although there were f...

Zusammenfassung:	We report the case of a 21-year-old man, with a Candida -related endocarditis causing multiple emboli and bilateral false aneurysms of the internal iliac arteries. As the distal runoff vasculatures of both internal iliac arteries were occluded, these arteries required ligation. Although there were few consequences with the procedure, multiple emboli and recurrence of endocarditis after cardiac surgery led to the patient's death.
