RASMUSSEN’S ANUERYSM MIMICKING AS A FUNGAL BALL
Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2014, Vol 3, Issue 23
Abstract
Hemoptysis is a common post pulmonary tuberculosis complication. It is usually due to bronchial artery involvement. Hemoptysis due to pulmonary artery pseudoaneurysm in a tuberculosis cavity is very rare. Such pseudoaneurysm is called Rasmussen’s aneurysms which are commonly seen in upper lobes. We are able to demonstrate a big left lower lobe Rasmussen’s aneurysm in a 55 years old diabetic male by CT pulmonary angiogram and it was treated successfully by a wedge resection of involved pulmonary segments.
