Abstract
A woman of 93 was admitted to hospital with a left pleural effusion. The presence of an unrecognised aneurysm of the descending thoracic aorta, lying posteriorly, led to an inadvertent puncture of the aorta. The diagnosis of a haemothorax due to dissection of the aneurysm was supported by echocardiography, and confirmed by angio-scanning.Entities:
