A CASE OF GIANT INTRACRANIAL ANEURYSM AND SYST EMIC LUPUS ERYTHEMATOSUS: AN INCIDENTAL OR AN ACCIDENTAL FINDING?
Authors
Abstract:
A twelve year old girl, an established case of systemic lupus erythematosus, was referred to us suffering from diplopia and nasal speech for a period of 3 months. Neurological examination was conducted which revealed a right-sided sixth nerve palsy and a pulsatile nasopharyngeal mass. Neurodiagnostic imaging studies confirmed a giant intracavernous internal carotid aneurysm. The malady of the aneurysm and its attendant neurological symptoms responded to the surgical procedure

Idiopathic pulmonary artery aneurysm is a rare condition. This type of aneurysm can be presented with noncardiac symptoms or even asymptomatic. We report a 73-year-old man with a gigantic idiopathic pulmonary artery aneurysm which was referred to our unit for his kidney problems. During his workup we incidentally found the aneurysm by an abnormal chest-X ray and auscultation. Our further evalua...
