“…Tuberculous aortic aneurysm can develop despite anti-tuberculous medication, probably due to poor drug penetration into caseous necrotic tissue. Therefore, combination medical and surgical approaches are required for successful management [8,9].…”

The Korean Society of Cardiovascular Imaging (KOSCI) has held monthly imaging forums for the last 20 years. In this note from the KOSCI, we are presenting 4 interesting cases selected from the cases discussed in the KOSCI monthly imaging forums in 2016. The cases are examples of syphilic aortitis, tuberculous aortitis, primary aortic intimal sarcoma, and solitary fibrous tumor of the pericardium. Through the monthly imaging forums, members can share their experiences with one another. The discussions involving rare diseases and their imaging findings enhance our ability to make proper diagnosis in clinical practice and provide ideas for new research topics. We want to share these opportunities with the readers of CVIA.

Mycobacterium infection remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Although rare, thoracic cardiovascular complications are associated with devastating consequences if not promptly diagnosed using computed tomography. Intrapulmonary complications include tuberculous aortitis, Rasmussen aneurysms, involvement of bronchial and nonbronchial systemic arteries, and thromboembolic events. Extrapulmonary complications include pericarditis, myocarditis, endocarditis, involvement of coronary arteries, annular-subvalvular left ventricle aneurysms and mediastinal fibrosis. This article will review these complications and their computed tomography features.
