conclusions this case indicates that delineation of coronary artery anatomy in atypical congenital giant right atrial aneurysm is of vital importance. closure of the aneurysmal sac, instead of aneurysmal resection, is a safer and more simple approach in atypical cases. case presentation this is a report on a 3.5-month-old male infant with imperforated anus and an unusual-shaped congenital giant...

Kawasaki disease (KD) is recognized as a systemic vasculitis affecting multi-organ with inflammatory changes. The commonest and most serious complication of KD is coronary artery aneurysm, but KD may cause other organic complications beside cardiac problems. Gastrointestinal tract also present complications of KD in which, for example, hepatic dysfunction, pancreatitis, intussusception, colonic...

Objectives: To evaluate the incidence, management, and outcome of visceral artery aneurysms (VAA) over 5. years in our institution, a tertiary care centre, Madras Medical College. Methods 14 patients with 19 VAA were analysed according to location, diameter, aneurysm type, aetiology, rupture, outcome. Results: localised at splenic artery, coeliac trunk, renal hepatic superior mesenteric other l...

In children, even minor trauma to the chest can result in cardiac injury. We describe a case of a 13-year-old boy who received blunt chest trauma during a motorcycle accident. He was initially symptom-free but later complained of persistent chest pain and a murmur was noted. An anterior muscular ventricular septal defect was detected one day after the accident, and a left ventricular pseudo-ane...

Traumatic pseudoaneurysm of the middle meningeal artery is rare and is associated with high mortality. Skull fracture is usually an associated feature of this entity. An elderly male was brought to our hospital in a stage of coma. The details of ictus were not known. The Glasgow coma scale score was 9/15. Examination revealed a pseudo-aneurysm arising from the posterior branch o...

Background: Cerebral aneurysm disease causes intracranial hemorrhage by rupturing, which can eventually, lead to organ failure or death. For this reason, it is important to anticipate the reasons for rupturing of a cerebral aneurysm from biomechanical point of view. Investigating this disease may even help the physicians to find treatments and predict the patient’s situation. This research was ...

Delayed sequelae after pressure on the neck are rare. Awareness of such sequelae as well as a high degree of suspicion is essential for early detection and proper clinical management. Injuries to the common carotid artery and pseudo aneurysm formation leading to fatal hemorrhage are still rare occurrences after attempts of manual strangulation. When such cases are presented to the forensic path...

Aortic sinus aneurysms are uncommon; association with pseudocoarctation has not been previously recognized. Morgan Jones and Langley (1949) in a classic paper reviewed fortythree autopsy proven cases, added four new ones, and divided them into congenital and acquired types: of the total, twenty-five were congenital. Venning (1951) reported three additional cases and Falholt and Thomsen (1953) i...

A true aneurysm is defined as an enlargement of an artery resulting in a diameter more than 1.5 times the anatomic size. It can be fusiform when it covers the entire perimeter of the vessel, or saccular when it bulges on one side of the artery. The pseudoaneurysm is a pulsating encapsulated haematoma in communication with the lumen of the ruptured vessel,which affects the the intima and the med...
