    Abstract:
    Aneurysms of the thoracoic aorta may on rare occasions lead to shortness of breath by external compression of the tracheobronchial tree. We report the case of a patient who presented with orthopnea due to extensive compression of the trachea and the major airways by a large aneurysm of the ascending aorta.
