Bilateral multiple pulmonary artery aneurysms associated with cavitary pulmonary tuberculosis: a case report
BACKGROUND Pulmonary artery aneurysms constitute <1% of aneurysms occurring in the thoracic cavity. Congenital cardiac defects are responsible for the majority (>50%) of cases, however, pulmonary artery aneurysm is a rare sequelae of pulmonary tuberculosis reported in about 5% of patients with chronic cavitary tuberculosis on autopsy. The natural history of this potentially fatal condition rema...
متن کاملMultiple bilateral intraparenchymal pulmonary artery aneurysms.
A 41-year-old male with cough and subtle chest radiograph opacities demonstrated bilateral intraparenchymal pulmonary artery aneurysms on computed tomography (Figs 1 and 2). Causes include congenital cardiac defects, pulmonary arterial hypertension and infection. The patient had been treated during childhood for Staphylococcal pneumonia prior to ventricular septal defect closure. He declined fu...
متن کاملA case of isolated peripheral pulmonary artery branch stenosis associated with multiple pulmonary artery aneurysms.
Selective right pulmonary arteriography and 3-dimensional computed tomography revealed multiple severe stenoses of the peripheral pulmonary artery associated with poststenotic aneurysms in a 65-year-old woman. She was referred to the hospital for evaluation of dry cough, gradually increasing dyspnea and multiple nodular shadows on a chest radiograph. Echocardiography and cardiac catheterization...
متن کاملBilateral pulmonary artery aneurysms in Behçet's disease.
A patient presented with fever, haemoptysis and large bilateral perihilar masses. Histology proved that these were pulmonary artery aneurysms due to pulmonary vasculitis, as a manifestation of Behçet's disease. It is suggested that a routine dynamic computed tomographic (CT) scan should be performed in the evaluation of such cases.
متن کاملPulmonary artery dissection associated with multiple coronary-pulmonary artery fistulae.
We experienced the surgical repair of an extremely rare pulmonary artery dissection without pulmonary hypertension. The patient had multiple coronary-pulmonary artery fistulae, which presumably caused pulmonary artery dissection. The surgical treatment included the closure of the multiple coronary fistulae and the resection of the intimal flap in the main pulmonary artery. The patient recovered...
