Abstract

Neurological symptoms and signs are rarely the only presenting feature of abdominal aortic aneurysm. We present a patient presenting with sciatic nerve root pain due to a large false aneurysm in iliopsoas.

Pancreatic pseudoaneurysm in a child with hereditary pancreatitis: diagnosis with multidetector CT angiography.

Pseudoaneurysm formation is a serious vascular complication of pancreatitis. It most commonly affects splenic and gastroduodenal arteries. We report a rare case of superior mesenteric artery pseudoaneurysm in a child with hereditary pancreatitis. Multidetector CT angiography allowed the comprehensive assessment of the aneurysm and allowed accurate surgical planning obviating the need for catheter angiography.

Pericardial pseudodiverticulum or pseudoaneurysm due to rupture of a cardiac aneurysm into the pericardial sac 48 years after the first description.

A typical sequential course becomes apparent from the clinical features, the electrocardiography, echocardiography, radiological changes as well as angiographic results. This ultimately leads to an unusual complication of transmural myocardial infarction, i.e. the development of a pericardial pseudodiverticulum (less aptly described as pseudoaneurysm or false aneurysm). A timely cardiosurgical intervention may avert the otherwise fatal outcome.
