Abstract
Cardiovascular syphilis has a variety of localizations and signs including an aortic aneurysm. Syphilitic aneurysms are most commonly localized in the ascending aorta, less in the aortic arch and descending aorta. Multiple aneurysms of syphilitic etiology are rare. A clinical case of a 56-year-old patient with multiple aneurysms of the aorta and brachiocephalic trunk of syphilitic etiology has been reported. Computed tomography showed multiple aneurysms of various localization, rupture of the ascending aortic aneurysm with partial thrombosis, its localization and the formation of an aortopulmonary anastomosis. The data obtained made it possible to carry out surgical treatment.
