Traumatic pseudoaneurysm from the aorta to the left common carotid artery presenting as widened mediastinum.
Diagnosis of pseudoaneurysm of the aorta or its main branches is a challenge in patients with blunt chest trauma. Computed tomography helps to demonstrate intrathoracic hemorrhage and suspected great vascular injury when a chest radiograph reveals widening of the mediastinum. Aortic angiography remains the gold standard in the determination of the site, and severity of vascular injury for defin...

متن کاملMediastinal lipomatosis as a cause of low voltage complexes on electrocardiogram and widened mediastinum: A case report
BACKGROUND Mediastinal widening is a common finding on chest radiograph, and can be caused by numerous conditions. Most of these diseases have grave prognosis if accompanied by chest pain, and require immediate attention. However, mediastinal lipomatosis is a very benign condition caused by deposition of adipose tissue in the mediastinum. CASE PRESENTATION We present a case of a morbidly obes...
متن کاملImaging of the Mediastinum
Mediastinal masses can be benign cysts, neurogenic tumors, germ cell neoplasms, thymomas or lymphomas. The mediastinum is demarcated by the pleural cavities laterally. Superior to the mediastinum, you find the thoracic inlet. The mediastinum is usually divided into three main compartments, anterior, middle and posterior. This anatomical classification of the mediastinum is useful for the radiol...
