Article Synopsis
- Rasmussen aneurysm is a rare complication of tuberculosis that leads to coughing up blood, affecting only about 0.007% of people.
- The case report emphasizes the effectiveness of conservative treatment for patients who are stable and not in immediate danger.
- This approach is especially important in areas with limited medical resources where advanced treatments like endovascular embolization are not readily available.
