Spontaneous Regression of Multiple Rasmussen Aneurysms in a Child With Lemierre Syndrome and Pulmonary Abscesses

Lemierre’s syndrome: current perspectives on diagnosis and management

“…A few (n=2) patients suffered from side effects (hemorrhage or disseminated intravascular coagulation) and were treated accordingly without serious adverse effects. 32 , 87 In the review by Riordan and also previous reviews, the frequency of patients treated with anticoagulants was 21%–23%. The high prevalence in this study might be due to the widespread, unconfirmed hypothesis regarding the positive effects of anticoagulants, which seem to have gained a favorable position in the clinic.…”

Haemoptysis in COVID-19 pneumonia

“…As COVID-19 infection is known to be associated with a thrombotic state, we hypothesise that it could have aided in "closing off" the pseudoaneurysm. Nevertheless, spontaneous closure or regression of PAPs have been reported before even in non-COVID-19 infection related PAPs [9,10]. The literature is scarce with regards to the natural history of PAP and to the best of our knowledge, there is none which report on the rates or predictive factors for spontaneous thrombosis of PAPs.…”

“…dropped to 9.1 g•dL −1 from 10.4 g•dL −1 , his platelet count was 274×10 9 ⋅L −1 , white cell count was 9 ⋅L −1 and international normalised ratio (INR) was 0.9. A sputum sample for acid-fast bacilli direct smear and other microbiological testing (including serum galactomannan) were negative.…”

Giant Rasmussen's aneurysm in a 9-year-old boy: A case report

“…Conservative treatment, targeting the underlying condition, is recommended for asymptomatic patients with aneurysms less than 6 cm [15] . Several case reports have shown good outcome and regression in patients with mycotic aneurysms upon treatment of the underlying cause [ 1 , 16 ]. Gesuete et al.…”

“…Antibiotic therapy in conjunction with discontinuation of anticoagulation medication and regular monitoring were done instead. The authors reported slow and spontaneous regression of the aneurysms after resolution of the causative bacterial infection [16] .…”
