A 53-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with thoracic back pain and weight loss. Computed tomography revealed inflammatory aortic aneurysm (IAA) of the descending aorta. Sealed rupture of the aneurysm occurred while the patient was under corticosteroid therapy. Endovascular aneurysm repair (EAR) was performed without postoperative complications. Periaortic fibrosis was remarkably decreased three months later while the patient was under prednisolone (20 mg) administration. We believe that EAR could become a practical alternative to open surgical repair. The possibility of an aneurysm rupturing during corticosteroid therapy for IAA should be considered.
