Fatal haemorrhage from mycotic aneurysms of the pulmonary artery.

Haemorrhage from gastric artery aneurysms.

upper gastrointestinal bleeding. Cotton et all have shown that in nearly 80% of cases the cause of the bleeding can be shown if endoscopy is done within the first 48 hours. In a few patients, however, neither conventional radiological studies nor endoscopy shows the site of bleeding.'-3 Submucosal vascular malformations of the stomach may produce massive upper gastrointestinal haemorrhage,4 5 a...

Fatal mycotic aneurysms due to Scedosporium and Pseudallescheria infection.

Angioinvasive complications of Scedosporium infections are rare. We report two cases of mycotic aneurysm, following apparent localized infection, due to Scedosporium apiospermum and Pseudallescheria boydii. The thoracoabdominal aorta was affected in one patient, and cerebral vessels were affected in the other. Despite voriconazole therapy and surgical resection, the patients died. Previously re...

Aneurysms of the pulmonary artery.

P ulmonary artery (PA) aneurysms (PAAs) are rare and infrequently diagnosed. Deterling and Clagett 1 discovered 8 cases of PAAs in 109 571 consecutive postmortem examinations. PAAs generally occurred in a younger age group than aortic aneurysms with an equal sex incidence. 2 Eighty-nine percent of all PAAs were located in the main PA, whereas only 11% were located in the pulmonary branches. 3 W...
