“…AAAs are extremely rare in children. A MEDLINE database search from 1975 to 2008 found only 41 cases of AAAs in children 11 . Causes included mycotic aneurysms, vasculitides (Takayasu arteritis), connective tissue diseases (Marfan syndrome, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, tuberous sclerosis), and traumatic false aneurysms 12 .…”

Klippel-Trénaunay-Weber syndrome (KTWS), also known as angioosteohypertrophy syndrome, is a rare congenital malformation with unknown etiology characterized by the combination of capillary malformations (port-wine strain), venous varicosities, and a soft tissue or bony hypertrophy of the affected limb. It is known to be rarely associated with abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) in adults. We report the first published case of KTWS and a rapidly progressing symptomatic AAA undergoing open repair in a child. This underlines the importance of AAA screening and treatment rather than surveillance in patients with KTWS.

“…However, abdominal aortic aneurysm can also be caused by an infected umbilical catherism [7]; aneurysm of tuberculosis and mycosis origin has also been reported [8] [9] [10]. Our patient had several vascular defects: pseudocoarctation of aorta and aberrant sub clavian arteries.…”

Thoracic aortic aneurysm is a rather rare disorder in children and difficult to diagnose. It is generally linked to congenital heart defects or connective-tissue diseases. Our case is a 10-year-old girl admitted in the pediatric emergency care unit on January 19th, 2015 for massive haemoptysis and severe anaemia. Examination revealed severe anemia and a silent left lung. The Chest X-Ray revealed an abnormal mass on the upper left side of the mediastinum, and left lower lobe consolidation. The thoracic CT scan highlighted a 64 mm aneurysm of the subisthmic aorta with a thin 5 mm hole. It also showed pseudocoarctation of the aorta. Treatment in intensive care consisted of blood transfusion and iron supplement. She was due to travel abroad for cardio vascular surgery, but died on November 2016. Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm in our setting was discovered incidentally. In spite the fact that it is an extreme surgical emergency, in Burkina Faso, treatment can only be possible abroad upon medical evacuation.

“…3 Aneurysmatic disease in children and youth with arteritis is extremely rare, with only a few isolated case reports in the literature. 3,6,[11][12][13] The angiographic types of vascular involvement in TA were defined at an International Conference held in Tokyo in 1994. 14 According to the distribution of the lesions: Type I: Primary involvement of the branches of the aortic arch.…”

Takayasu's arteritis is a type of primary systemic vasculitis that affects medium and large arteries, including the aorta and its main branches, as well as the pulmonary and coronary arteries. Although rare in children, it is the third most common vasculitis in the pediatric population, often with delayed diagnosis due to the nonspecific presentation of clinical symptoms in its initial phase. This is a case of a 16-year-old girl with a giant ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm, who needed surgery on an emergency basis. The etiological aspects involved in aneurysms in young patients are also addressed.
