متن کاملPneumothorax and Bullae in Marfan Syndrome
Background: Increased risk of spontaneous pneumothorax has been described in patients with Marfan syndrome and has been attributed, in part, to the presence of apical blebs and bullae. Objectives: We assess the risk of pneumothorax and its relationship to the presence of apical blebs and bullae in patients with Marfan syndrome in the era of CT imaging. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was ...

Although he did not consent any hemodynamic studies, cardiomegaly was ruled out on the basis of the clinical course. Computed tomography showed the existence of a large mass in both sides of the heart and in both lower hemithoraces. The tumor was resected by anterior mediastinotomy; it was weighted 2100 g ...
