The aim of this study was to outline the clinical features of syphilitic aortic aneurysm. The study materials were based on acomprehensive literature review of publications on syphilitic aortic aneurysm published between 2000 and 2017. Syphilitic aortic aneurysm occurred most commonly in the ascending aorta in either asaccular or afusiform shape. Syphilitic aortic aneurysm was often complicated by aortic valve insufficiency (in almost half of the patients), and by acoronary artery/ostium lesion in 16.5% of the patients. Aortic valve operation was necessary in one fourth, and coronary artery surgery accounted for less than one fifth of patients warranting asurgical treatment. Although there was no difference in the survival rates between the surgically and conservatively treated patients, an aggressive treatment should be performed when diagnosis is made due to the potential risks of aneurysm rupture and sudden death.
