Multimodality imaging of pulmonary artery aneurysms due to giant cell arteritis: a case series.
Int J Cardiovasc Imaging
October 2024
Article Synopsis
- Pulmonary artery aneurysms (PAAs) are uncommon but significant vascular issues that can present with vague symptoms, with some patients being asymptomatic while others may experience chest pain or difficulty breathing.
- PAAs can be caused by various factors including congenital conditions, acquired factors, and unknown origins, with giant cell arteritis (GCA) being a rare cause outlined in limited case reports.
- This case series presents an analysis of four patients diagnosed with isolated PAAs attributed to GCA, focusing on their clinical presentations, diagnostic imaging techniques, and treatment options.
Chest radiography continues to be the first-line imaging modality for evaluation of the chest. Interpretation is based on the understanding of complex three-dimensional (3D) structural relationships, which are translated into a two-dimensional (2D) plane. These 2D projections form multiple "lines and stripes" on chest radiographs, representing the interfaces between the pulmonary parenchyma, pleura, and normal mediastinal structures.

Objective: Our hypothesis was that these entities have a limited differential diagnosis and are mostly benign.
Materials And Methods: We reviewed knee magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans performed at our tertiary care institution between 2001 and 2019 (n=3,915).
