During a 63-month period, 28 consecutive patients suspicious for injury of the thoracic aorta were examined by computed tomography (CT). Twelve aortic ruptures were evidenced; pseudoaneurysm and mediastinal haematoma in close contact with the aorta were present in 12 patients, marginal lucency in 9, marginal irregularity in 8 and intimal flap in 6. CT was falsely negative in 1 patient with injury of the left subclavian artery. Angiography and surgery confirmed the diagnosis in 7 patients, and surgery alone in 5 patients. CT had a sensitivity of 92% and a specificity of 100%. The need for angiography was obviated in 67% of patients. A radiologist with experience in trauma management, CT and angiography should perform both examinations.

Acute traumatic injury of the distal descending aorta associated with thoracic spine injury

et al. 1998

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

A rare case of traumatic injury of the distal descending aorta associated with thoracic spine injury is reported. A 21-year-old man was admitted after a traffic accident. Thoracic CT and angiography demonstrated a false aneurysm of the distal descending aorta and a compression fracture of the eleventh thoracic vertebra. At emergency surgery, a transverse linear tear at the level of the aortic hiatus was confirmed and repaired.
