Abstract
Mycotic Aneurysms are aneurysms (or pseudoaneurysms) which result from an infectious etiology. Group-B Strep (GBS) associated mycotic aneurysms are exceedingly rare and current literature varies on presentation and diagnostic criteria. This case is a rare presentation of a likely mycotic aortic arch pseudoaneurysm induced from GBS Bacteremia and cervical osteomyelitis in a 60-year-old male.
