The man was admitted to our hospital due to abdominal aorta pseudoaneurysms 5 years ago. The diagnosis was made by thoracic computed tomography angiography (CTA), previous history, and positive culture of <jats:italic>Brucella<\/jats:italic>, and the patient was successfully treated by thoracic aortic covered stent-graft implantation and specific medical treatment.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>People who have a history of contact with cattle and sheep, should beware of the possibility of <jats:italic>Brucella<\/jats:italic> infection. If chest and abdominal pain occur, timely medical treatment is recommended, aortic aneurysm, the disease with a high risk of death, can be identified or excluded by CTA.
