Hemoptysis in pulmonary tuberculosis - contrast tomography unmasking Rasmussen’s aneurysm
George Peter1, Maroli Roshan212
Hemoptysis is a common symptom in respiratory clinical practice, but very rarely the images of Rasmussen’s aneurysm are demonstrated in a case of hemoptysis. In this report of a 53 year old man with massive hemoptysis, we are able to demonstrate a Rasmussen’s aneurysm by contrast enhanced computer tomography (CECT) of the thorax along with features of pulmonary tuberculosis.
