“…The exceptional involvement of the thoracic aorta is due to the absence of abdominal aortic vasa vasorum. From another perspective, aortic wall weakening leads to aortic root dilatation and potential associated complications, with the most important being aortic valve regurgitation (as in our patient), syphilitic aortic aneurysm, and coronary ostial stenosis [10][11][12][13] . Thoracic aortic aneurysms grow upward at a rate of 0.10 cm/year 14 .…”

“…Tertiary syphilis can occur in approximately one third of untreated patients and cause granulomatous lesions, called gummata; other manifestations include cardiovascular and neurological conditions. At present, it is rare for this type of manifestations to be found due to the success of antibiotics, but this infection can develop in the long-term (in years and perhaps decades) after an initial infection without proper management and can be observed in up to 70% of untreated patients 4,5,9,10 .…”

“…La sífilis terciaria puede ocurrir en aproximadamente un tercio de los pacientes no tratados y causar lesiones granulomatosas, llamadas gomas; entre otras manifestaciones se encuentran las cardiovasculares y las neurológicas. Hoy día es raro encontrar este tipo manifestaciones por el éxito de los antibióticos, pero esta infección puede desarrollarse a largo plazo (años y tal vez décadas) después de la infección inicial sin el apropiado manejo, llegando a observarse hasta en el 70% de los pacientes no tratados 4,5,9,10 .…”

“…El compromiso excepcional de la aorta torácica se debe a la ausencia de vasa vasorum de la aorta abdominal. Desde otra perspectiva, el debilitamiento de la pared aórtica lleva a una dilatación de la raíz aórtica y a potenciales complicaciones derivadas de ello; las principales son la insuficiencia valvular aórtica (como en nuestra paciente), el aneurisma aórtico sifilítico y la estenosis del ostium de las coronarias [10][11][12][13] . Los aneurismas aórticos torácicos crecen hacia arriba a una tasa de 0.10 cm por año 14 .…”
