Abstract
- International audience; We here report the case of a 35-year old man with HIV-1 but with no previous medical-surgical history hospitalized in Abidjan, Cote d'Ivoire, due to fever, cough, dyspnea, chest pain and unfolding of the aortic arch observed on chest x-ray a week after having started antiretroviral therapy (ART). CT angiography of the thoracic aorta showed overall, extended aortic ectasia with mural thrombus. Transesophageal echocardiography objectified type A ascending aortic dissection (Stanford classification). The diagnosis of tuberculosis was confirmed based on Mycobacterium tuberculosis culture isolation. Eight years after, the patient was still alive without surgical treatment and complained of intermittent chest pain. Blood pressure was stable with moderate renal failure. We here report a rare case of aortic aneurism dissection in an adult patient with tuberculosis infected with HIV-1 during immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome.; Un homme de 35 ans, VIH-1, sans antécédents médicaux et chirurgicaux particuliers, a été hospitalisé à Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire, dans un contextefébrile, toux, dyspnée, douleurs thoraciques et à la radiographie pulmonaire, un déroulement de la crosse de l'aorte une semaine après avoirdébuté les antirétroviraux (ARV). Les scanners angiothoraciques réalisés ont mis en évidence une ectasie aortique globale étendue avec thrombusmural. Une échocardiographie transoesophagienne conclut à une dissection aortique, type A de Stanford. Le diagnostic de tuberculose a étéconfirmé par l'isolation en culture de Mycobacterium Tuberculosis. Huit ans après, le patient est encore vivant, sans intervention chirurgicale et seplaint de douleurs thoraciques intermittentes. Sa pression artérielle est stable et a une insuffisance rénale modérée. Nous rapportons un cas rarede dissection aortique anévrismale chez un adulte infecté par le VIH-1 dans le cadre d'un syndrome de reconstitution immune avec tuberculosepulmonaire.
