Abstract 

A 63-year-old male presented with recurrent pyrexia, low back pain, and night sweats followed by knee pain and the inability to walk. Computed tomography revealed disintegration of the 4th and 5th lumbar vertebrae, and a laparotomy revealed a large aneurysm. A Medtronic aortic-united-iliac, PTFE-covered stent sealed the orifice of the aneurysm and combined with antituberculous treatment, relieved the patient of primary symptoms.
