Abstract
We report a rare case of large innominate vein aneurysm in a young women clinically presenting with persistent dry cough and retrosternal pressure. Chest X-ray showed a mediastinal widening leading to thoracic computed tomography, MRI, and phlebography. Initial conservative treatment with regular follow-up was performed. Upon aneurysm growth and recurrent pulmonary infection we decided to surgically resect the aneurysm via a minimally invasive approach.Entities:
