解離性大動脈瘤の発症後にリウマチ性多発筋痛症を合併した55歳の男性患者を経験した。解離性大動脈瘤は保存的に治療され,リウマチ性多発筋痛症はステロイド服用にて劇的に改善した。患者は解離性大動脈瘤の原因となる危険因子を有しておらず,リウマチ性多発筋痛症にしばしば側頭動脈炎を合併することから,本患者における解離性大動脈瘤の発症に何らかの免疫学的機序が関与する動脈炎が関与している可能性も考えられた。
We report a patient with a dissecting aortic aneu-rysm associated with polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR). The patient is a 55-year-old Japanese man without a history of hypertension, diabetes mellitus and syphilis.He was admitted to an emergency hospital because of severe back pain, and was diagnosed as having a dis-secting aneurysm of the descending aorta. After the admission, he began to notice severe muscle pain in his bilateral shoulder. Although his back pain gradu-ally improved , his muscle pain progressively wors-ened, and his lower extremities were also involved.Then, he was introduced to our hospital.
