Coil Embolization of Rasmussen Aneurysm Diagnosed by Helical CT: A Case Report
نویسندگان
چکیده
monary artery caused by erosion into the artery by an adjacent tuberculous cavity (1, 2). Pseudoaneurysm were present in 4% of autopsies of patients who died of chronic cavitary tuberculosis (3). A conventional contrast enhanced CT may suggests pseudoaneurysm that shows enhancing mass with an adjacent vessel (4, 5). Helical CT can show vascular imaging more than conventional contrast enhanced CT. Therefore, we report a case of coil embolization of Rasmussen aneurysm detected by helical CT.

Time-resolved Magnetic Resonance Angiography for assessment of recanalization after coil embolization of visceral artery aneurysms
BACKGROUND Follow-up imaging after coil embolization of visceral artery aneurysms is important for detecting recanalization. However, CT examination is susceptible to coil artifacts, which sometimes makes it difficult to assess recanalization. We report 2 cases where recanalization was successfully visualized using time-resolved magnetic resonance angiography after coil embolization of visceral...
