An unusual aortic aneurysm in an infant.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Aortic aneurysm in infancy is very rare. Excluding examples of aneurysm of the ductus arteriosus in the newborn, we have been able to find only three previously reported cases, all of which were associated with congenital heart disease (Traisman and Johnson, 1953; Hartwell and Ewing, 1954; Rainey and Gilbert, 1958). This appears to be the first recorded case of aortic aneurysm occurring in infancy as an isolated lesion.

Due to a better and widespread availability of non-invasive imaging techniques, it has come to the fore that 30% of these cases develop complications, viz., valve abnormality (aortic regurgitation and stenosis), and aneurysm of aortic root and ascending aorta. Sinus of Valsalva aneurysm is an uncommon complicatio...

Mycotic aortic aneurysms account for 1–3% of all aortic aneurysms. The management of this disease is controversial. Since open surgical repair is associated with high morbidity and mortality rates, endovascular aneurysm repair is an alternative treatment method with promising early and midterm outcomes, although its long-term durability is unknown.Secondary aortoenteric fistulas may occur iatro...

Dear Editor,Abdominal aortic aneurysm is often asymptomatic, less recognized, and causes considerable mortality and morbidity, if missed. The incidence varies from country to country and the occurrence is influenced by modifiable (smoking, coronary heart disease, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and prolonged steroid therapy) and non-modifiable risk factors (increasing age, male gender, and positive...
