Stab Injury of the Thoracic Aorta: Computed Tomography Findings
Stab injury of the thoracic aorta is a rare condition with high mortality rate. Patients must be evaluated carefully, and the diagnosis usually should be confirmed by radiological modalities. In this case, we report a 37-year-old man presented with a penetrating stab injury to the upper back and the thoracic aorta, and the diagnostic role of computed tomography is discussed.
متن کاملComputed Tomography Study of Thoracic Aorta in the Cat
Computed tomography (СТ) with contrast enhancement allows a detailed anatomical description of feline thoracic aorta. For this purpose, 14 sexually mature clinically healthy domestic cats weighing 2.9 to 4.0 kg were investigated. The animals were anaesthetized and fixed in dorsal recumbency on a СТ table (Tomoscan, CX/Q, Siemens). Consequent transversal 5 mm cross-sections were made along the t...
متن کاملHemoptysis as a Rare Presentation of Thoracic Aorta Aneurysm
Hemoptysis is the rarest presentation of thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA).This critical condition is one of the life-threatening medical emergencies. Even with prompt approaches, TAA can have highly terrible outcomes. Although TAA is an almost asymptomatic condition that is accidentally discovered, imaging with contrast is the most useful modality to diagnosis it.
متن کاملAge-related change in calcifications in the thoracic aorta: a study with computed tomography.
Calcifications in the thoracic aorta at the level of the 11th and the 12th thoracic vertebrae in 592 men and 333 women were studied using computed tomography. The ages ranged from 40 to 88 years. Incidence of calcification increased proportionally to the advancing age from the forties to the eighties in men, and from the fifties to the seventies in women: incidence of calcification (%) = 2.41 X...
