Radiologic findings in the diagnosis of Hughes-Stovin syndrome.

Síndrome de Hughes-Stovin

“…Anticoagulation is acceptable, as long as it is concomitant with corticotherapy, although controlled prospective studies on the subject do not succeed. 5,6,7 Our patient showed good evolution after the first combined pulse therapy with methylprednisolone and cyclophosphamide, without further episodes of hemoptoic and with regression in the size and number of pulmonary aneurysms. However, as reported in the literature, he had hemoptoic after the sixth course of pulse therapy, which required new therapeutic discussion.…”

“…4 Signs and symptoms include: cough, dyspnea, hemoptysis, headache, intermittent fever, papilledema, and those related with peripheral thrombophlebitis. 5 Rupture of an aneurysm inside the airways is the most common cause of morbimortality. 5 We report a case of Hughes-Stovin syndrome whose first thrombotic event preceded the development of pulmonary aneurysms by five years.…”

Successful closure of pulmonary artery aneurysm in a patient with Hughes-Stovin syndrome

“…The exact etiology and pathogenesis of HSS remains widely unclear. Several proposed theories have attempted to explain the manifestations of this entity [9,10]. These encompass infectious causes and angiodysplaisa.…”

An unusual case of Hughes-Stovin syndrome

“…In 1990 angiography demonstrated post-thrombotic alterations of both pelvic veins and the inferior vena cava and bilateral multiple pulmonary aneurysms. The diagnosis of HughesStovin syndrome was made [2].…”
