We hereby describe a rare case of coronary artery involvement in a patient with periaortitis which was mimicking an aortic aneurysm on computed tomography (CT). This case also highlights the role of CT in differentiating aortic pathologies to guide the management and also the importance of coronary evaluation in such patients.
