Abstract
|
|
|
A 53-year-old female patient has been suffering from chest pain since experiencing
blunt trauma to the left part of the chest. No murmur, clubbing digits, or cyanosis were
noted on physical examination. The initial chest P-A X-ray shows well circumscribed
radiodensity in the left suprahilar area. The pulmonary artery angiography shows
marked dilatation of the main, left and right pulmonary artery in that order. The
pressure in the pulmonary artery and right ventricle are 20/10 ㎜Hg (mean; 13 ㎜Hg),
24/5 ㎜Hg, respectively.
18 months later, the control chest P-A X-ray shows higher increase in its size. A
pulmonary artery aneurysm is rare and we suspect that blunt chest trauma is the cause
of it but we cannot confirm the underlying structural abnormality or idiopathic abnormal
state without surgery or autopsy.
