@entity3665 is a nonspecific term that describes an @entity32 of the aortic wall caused by inflammatory, infectious, @entity8231 and @entity191 . The symptoms are variable and nonspecific; therefore a high level of clinical suspicion is required to diagnose it. It is often an incidental finding while looking for other diagnoses and it is confirmed mainly through imaging studies. We report three cases of @entity3665 : A 29-year-old @entity1 presenting with @entity1665 , oral and nasal ulcers and positive antinuclear antibodies. A CAT scan showed a segmental thickening of thoracic aorta, with dilated and stenotic areas. She was successfully treated with @entity230 , @entity6383 , @entity786 and @entity500 . A 41-year-old male presenting with @entity158 and cough. The CAT scan showed an extra-intimal thickening of the descending aorta and stenosis of the celiac artery. The final diagnosis was a @entity2883 and was treated with @entity230 , @entity786 and @entity500 . A 28-year-old @entity1 presenting with @entity158 in the left upper abdomen. Imaging studies showed a thickening of the aortic arch and subclavian artery. The final diagnosis was @entity370 and the @entity1 was treated with @entity229 .
