A rare late post-traumatic pseudoaneurysm of the thoracic aorta was incidentally found in a patient with subarachnoid hemorrhage. This condition, potentially suspected on chest X-rays, requires advanced imaging for diagnosis.

Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Diagnostic Imaging
  • Trauma Medicine

Background:

  • Subarachnoid hemorrhage following trauma can obscure other serious injuries.
  • Thoracic aortic injuries are critical and require timely diagnosis.
  • Pseudoaneurysms represent a delayed complication of vascular trauma.

Observation:

  • An incidental finding of a calcified vascular mediastinal mass was noted.
  • The patient presented with subarachnoid hemorrhage from a motorcycle accident.
  • The mass was identified as a late post-traumatic pseudoaneurysm of the thoracic aorta.

Findings:

  • Calcified vascular mediastinal masses may be initially suspected on chest roentgenograms.
  • Aortography is a key diagnostic tool for confirming aortic pseudoaneurysms.

  • Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging aid in diagnosis when initial imaging is unclear.

    • Implications:

    • Early recognition of chronic pseudoaneurysms is crucial for patient management.
    • This case highlights the importance of considering delayed vascular complications after trauma.
    • Accurate diagnosis through advanced imaging prevents misidentification of pseudoaneurysms as other mediastinal masses.
