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.
本文介绍了创伤性胸主动脉瘤一个此前未被描述的特征。患者是一名年轻的摩托车手，他遭受了多处损伤，并在入院10天后因沿食管平面剥离至胃内的胸主动脉延迟破裂而死亡。尽管创伤性纵隔血肿的放射学特征在受伤后不久就很明显，但这些特征在后来的X光片中消失了，从而产生了一种虚假的安全感。
