Positional dyspnoea due to aneurysm of the thoracic aorta.

G D Phillips1, E E Smith, F J Millard.   

Abstract

Thoracic aortic aneurysms may produce breathlessness by compressing the tracheobronchial tree. We report a patient whose shortness of breath demonstrated a marked positional component, due to varying compression of her major airways by the lesion.
