    Radiographic features of aortic rupture on chest X-rays are crucial for diagnosis. Key findings include distorted aortic contour, mediastinal widening, and specific lung field opacities, aiding in early detection.

    Area of Science:

    • Radiology
    • Cardiovascular Imaging
    • Thoracic Surgery

    Background:

    • Aortic rupture is a life-threatening condition requiring prompt diagnosis.
    • Chest roentgenography is often the initial imaging modality.
    • Understanding radiographic signs is vital for timely intervention.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To identify and tabulate characteristic radiographic features of aortic rupture on chest roentgenograms.
    • To correlate chest X-ray findings with aortography results in patients with suspected aortic rupture.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of chest roentgenograms from 18 patients with confirmed aortic rupture.
    • Tabulation of radiographic abnormalities, including aortic contour, mediastinal width, and lung field changes.
    • Correlation of radiographic findings with subsequent aortography in 14 patients.

    Main Results:

    • All 18 patients showed distorted aortic contour and blurred aortic outline on initial chest films.
    • Common findings included left upper lung field obliteration (16/18) and rightward superior vena cava displacement (15/18).
    • Aortography revealed linear radiolucent defects and pseudoaneurysms in nine patients, with variations in others.

    Conclusions:

    • Specific radiographic abnormalities on chest X-ray are highly indicative of aortic rupture.
    • Early recognition of these signs can facilitate prompt diagnosis and management of aortic rupture.
    • Chest roentgenography plays a critical role in the initial assessment of patients with suspected aortic injury.
