Mycotic aneurysms are uncommon, difficult to treat, and fatal. These aneurysms caused by Acinetobacter baumannii complex are not documented. We present the case of a 20-year-old female who presented with pain abdomen and vomiting with on and off episodes of fever. This woman had a history of postpartum cardiomyopathy for 12 months and chronic kidney disease for 2 months, on medical treatment. She was diagnosed with an infrarenal aortic aneurysm with iliac extension caused by A. baumannii complex and left hydronephrosis. She was successfully treated with surgery followed by long-term antibiotics. There is no documented evidence of this organism to cause mycotic aneurysm. We also discuss about the course, investigations, and management of this case.
