چکیده
Picture 1. Non-contrast-enhanced axial CT scan shows crescentic thickening and high atenuation of the aortic wal from the 1 o’clock to the 8 o’clock position (large arrow), as wel as displacement of intimal calcification (smal arrow) in the descending thoracic aorta (A). Contrast-enhanced axial CT scan at the same level shows that there is no intimal flap and a communication within the area of thickening (B). A B □ PICTURES IN CLINICAL MEDICINE □

Ortner’s Syndrome-A Rare Cause of Hoarseness: Its Importance to an Otorhinolaryngologist
Introduction: Cardiovocal hoarseness (Ortner’s syndrome) is hoarseness of voice due to recurrent laryngeal nerve involvement secondary to cardiovascular disease. Recurrent laryngeal nerve in its course (especially the left side) follows a path that brings it in close proximity to numerous structures. These structures interfere with its function by pressure or by disruption of the nerve caused b...
متن کامل[Diagnosis by magnetic resonance imaging of a case of intramural left atrial hematoma].
We report a case of spontaneous intramural left atrial hematoma with chest pain and pulmonary edema as the primary clinical manifestations. Echocardiographic techniques revealed obstruction of the left atrial cavity by cyst-like masses attached to the posterior and anterior atrial wall. A large intramural hematoma due to extensive atrial wall dissection was observed by magnetic resonance imagin...
متن کاملAortic intramural hematoma: an increasingly recognized and potentially fatal entity.
Aortic intramural hematoma (IMH) is related to but is pathologically distinct from aortic dissection. In this potentially lethal entity, there is hemorrhage into the aortic media in the absence of an intimal tear. Although intimal disruption is not present, the prognosis is similar to that of classic aortic dissection; therefore, early diagnosis is critical. In this review, symptoms and prognos...
متن کاملIgG4-related aortitis mimicking intramural hematoma
Acute aortic syndromes (AAS) are life-threatening conditions, and despite advances in imaging techniques, their diagnosis and treatment remain challenging. While intramural hematoma is much less common than acute aortic dissection (AD), which is the most common form of AAS, they have similar mortality rates (1). On the other hand, aortitis may mimic intramural hematoma (IMH) due to radiologic s...
