It is thought to be the preliminary step of secondary aortoenteric fistula and does not involve anastomosis between aorta and graft.

It is rare for air to be seen inside a thrombus around the aortic lumen, and this should suggest the presence of an aortoenteric fistula. The best means for detecting such a fistula is oral and intravenous contrast CT (2).

Unstable patients might benefit from stent graft (Level 4, Recommendation C); stable patients with aortoenteric fistula should receive staged procedure with extra-anatomic bypass first (Level 2c, Recommendation B); and finally stable patients without aortoenteric fistula (patients that do not have direct communication between proximal anastomosis and bowel but infected paraanastomotic sinus) should receive in situ revascularization using autogenous superficial femoral vein or aortoiliac allograft (Level 2c, Recommendation C) (2).

Q fever has reportedly been associated with abdominal aortic aneurysm, aortoenteric fistula, lower limb fistula, vascular graft infection, vertebral body erosions, CNS infection, fever of unknown origin, and possible pancreatitis [3,4,7-10].
Q Fever Presented as a Large Retroperitoneal Pseudotumoral Mass
Since the first description of primary ADF was published by Astley Cooper in 1839, less than 200 primary aortoenteric fistula (AEF) cases have been reported in the English-language literature; 73% of primary AEF were from atherosclerotic aneurysms, 26% were from traumatic or mycotic aneurysms, and the remaining 1% were caused by radiation, metastases, pancreatic carcinoma, ulcers, gallstones, diverticulitis, appendicitis, and cystic medial necrosis [1].
