Venous aneurysms are rare causes of neck mass. Among neck veins, aneurysms of the external jugular vein are extremely uncommon. We present a case of a woman with a history of prior internal jugular vein catheterization who presented at a rural primary health care unit with a nontender progressively enlarging swelling in the right supraclavicular region. B-mode and Doppler ultrasound examination...

UNLABELLED INTRODUCTION Annular subvalvular pseudoaneurysm is a rare example of left ventricle aneurysm described predominantly in young African people. These aneurysms are divided into two different types, namely, submitral or subaortic, with subaortic being the less frequent kind. The subaortic type is most often localized in the mitral-aortic intervalvular fibrosa. To the best of our know...

In its initial phase false aneurysm is an encapsulated haematoma fed by a defect in the wall of an artery and confined by the tissues among which it lies (Dameron 1964). In its fully developed state it may have a cavity with an endothelial lining in continuity through the defect in the arterial wall with that of the artery; it eventually develops a laminated wall of fibrin, organised blood clot...

Even though the majority of abdominal aortic aneurysm s(AAAs) are asymptomatic, they can occasionally manifest as a result of adjacent structures involvement. Although the most frequent venous complication of AAA is rupture into the inferior vena cava (IVC), venous compression can infrequently occur. The authors report a particularly rare case of compression and thrombosis of the IVC by AAA. Pa...

BMJ Case Rep Published online: [please include Day Month Year] doi:10.1136/bcr-2013201201 DESCRIPTION An 81-year-old man presented to the cardiovascular surgery clinic with right inguinal pain and swelling, which he had experienced for 1 year. A pulsatile mass that extended to the proximal femur was found in the right of the groin on physical examinati...

Biomarkers for the prediction of vasospasm and delayed cerebral ischemia in patients with a ruptured cerebral aneurysm could be helpful. In this prospective clinical study, endothelin-1, lactate, pCO2, and pO2 were measured in arterial and internal jugular vein blood before, during and after surgical treatment of a cerebral aneurysm, and were tested as potential predictors of neurologic outcome...

An 84 year-old man presented with 2 weeks of worsening back pain. At the referring hospital, he was noted to have serum transaminase levels of 600 to 1000 U/L. An ultrasound scan to evaluate his gallbladder was interpreted as showing a 5to 6-cm ruptured aneurysm of the abdominal aorta. He was transferred for management of the aortic aneurysm. On arrival, he was hemodynamically stable, ashen, an...

aneurysm can develop in all arteries of the human body. pseudoaneurysm induced by trauma is known as a rare condition in peripheral arteries. this complication is known as late sequelae of trauma. the incidence of pseudoaneurysm in upper extremities artery is less than lower extremities. atherosclerotic aneurysms are often seen in large arteries and by aging, but pseudoaneurysm can be seen in p...

a 32-year-old female patient with previous bentall operation and mitral valve repair surgery due to severe aortic insufficiency, mitral valve insufficiency, and ascending aortic aneurysm was admitted to our hospital with serious dyspnea, fatigue, and mild chest pain. two-dimensional echocardiography demonstrated a markedly dilated basal aorta and cardiac chambers. thoracic computed tomography s...
