Abstract
Three months after splenic infarct, a 50-year-old woman underwent arte riography for persistent low-grade fever and abdominal complaints. Aft er 5 months of corticosteroid therapy for ''polyarteritis nadosa,'' an other arteriogram confirmed embolic disease; transesophageal echocardi ography (TEE) showed a pedunculated mobile thrombus in the aortic arch . We suggest this represents ''pseudovasculitis'' from an aortic throm bus.
