Abstract
A 67 yr old female with mitral stenosis presented with an acute haemoptysis caused by the rupture of pulmonary varices. Chest radiography and bronchoscopy showed nonspecific abnormalities. The diagnosis of this rare but potentially lethal complication was made using computed tomographic angiography with three-dimensional volume rendering.Entities:
