  • Title: Traumatic rupture of the thoracic aorta-a radiological pitfall.
    Author: Greenway BA, Nicholls BA.
    Journal: Injury; 1975 Aug; 7(1):11-3. PubMed ID: 1205587.
    Abstract:
    A previously undescribed feature of a traumatic thoracic aneurysm is presented. The pateint was a young motor cyclist who sustained multiple injuries and died 10 days after admission from delayed rupture of the thoracic aorta which had dissected along oesophageal planes into the stomach. Although the radiological features of traumatic mediastinal haematoma were evident shortly after injury, these features had disappeared in later radiographs creating a false sense of security.
