Endoscopic botulinum toxin injection is considered a safe and viable option for the management of achalasia [1,2]. Although esophageal perforation and mediastinitis are well-documented complications of this treatment, pseudo-aneurysm formation of the thoracic aorta following intersphincteric injection is exceedingly rare [3]. We report the first published fatality from a thoracic aorta pseudo-a...

Pseudo aneurysms as complications are a major source of morbidity after cardiac catheterization. Their incidence varies in the literature due to different definitions, methods of interrogation and presence of certain complications. We found in the literature that post-catheterization lesions occur in approximately 0.05% of treated patients after diagnostic catheterization and up to 1.2% after m...

Traumatic intracranial aneurysm in the proximal part of the anterior cerebral artery in the pediatric population has not been documented so far. Here we report the case of a 4 year-old child who developed a pseudo-aneurysm after minor head trauma and was managed successfully with trapping of the aneurysm. A ventriculo-peritoneal shunt was placed as the child became dependent on extraventricular...

Rasmussen's aneurysm is an inflammatory pseudo-aneurysmal dilatation of a branch of pulmonary artery adjacent to a tuberculous cavity. Life threatening massive hemoptysis from the rupture of a Rasmussen's aneurysm is an uncommon yet life threatening complication of cavitary tuberculosis (TB). We present a case of a young woman who presented with low-grade fever and hemoptysis. Computed tomograp...
