Robinson, W. M., McMillan, I. K. R., and Johnson, A. M. (1973). Thorax, 529-532. Saccular aneurysm caused by bacterial endocarditis in a syphilitic aorta. The rapid development of a saccular aneurysm during successfully treated bacterial endocarditis, in an ascending aorta previously affected by syphilis which had been treated with adequate chemotherapy 15 years previously, is described. Althou...

External jugular vein aneurysm with thrombosis presenting as neck swelling is a rare clinical entity and rarely encountered in routine clinical practice. We present a case of a 45-year-old female with external jugular vein aneurysm presenting as a painful lump in the neck. Ultrasound of the neck and CT angiography showed saccular dilation of the lower end of the external jugular vein with throm...

An analysis based upon necropsy figures has been made of the frequency of deaths with dissecting aneurysms and ruptured fusiform or saccular aortic aneurysms. More deaths from these conditions were found at necropsies conducted on people dying suddenly in the community than in those dying in hospital. Dissecting aneurysms were nearly all found to involve the thoracic segment of the aorta and we...

A 33-year old female was admitted to the hospital presented with right hypochondrium abdominal pain and jaundice. Abdominal ultrasonography showed multiple saccular dilatations of the intrahepatic biliary tract. Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography was performed (Figure 1A) showing nonobstructive saccular or fusiform dilatation of the intrahepatic bile ducts and choledochal cyst. Also...

We report a case of concurrent saccular aneurysms caused by a penetrating atherosclerotic ulcer of the thoracic and abdominal aorta that were successfully treated by staged endovascular repair. Even though surgical open repair or endovascular repair is the treatment option, use of endovascular repair is now accepted as an alternative treatment to surgery in selected patients. To prevent contras...

Venous anomalies are rarely seen with cystic hygromas. We describe an unusual case of cystic hygroma of the neck associated with a saccular venous aneurysm that was increasing in size. A multi-modality examination of the neck-including CT, Doppler sonography, and MR imaging-revealed multiloculated cystic lesions bilaterally with predominance on the left side. A saccular venous aneurysm was note...

Headache can be attributed to cranial or cervical vascular disorders including ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack, non-traumatic intracranial hemorrhage, unruptured vascular malformation, arteritis, carotid-vertebral artery pain, and cerebral venous thrombosis. Here, we present a case report of unruptured saccular aneurysm with migraine. The patient was a previously healthy 32-year-ol...

A zone 0 landing thoracic endovascular aortic repair was performed on a 69-year-old man with saccular arch aneurysm. Seven days after the surgery, patient experienced diminished consciousness and lower limb paralysis. Stent graft collapse seen computed tomography scan. Thereafter, underwent total replacement emergency stent removal.
