Aorto-esophageal fistula (AEF) is a rare and life threatening condition, which can be rapidly fatal. More than half of such cases are secondary to aortic aneurysm rupture. There are only two previous reports describing AEF caused by penetrating atherosclerotic ulcer. We present multidetector computed tomography findings in a case of AEF secondary to penetrating atherosclerotic ulcer.
主动脉食管瘘(AEF)是一种罕见且危及生命的疾病,可迅速致命。超过半数的此类病例继发于主动脉瘤破裂。此前仅有两份报告描述了由穿透性动脉粥样硬化溃疡引起的AEF。我们报告了一例继发于穿透性动脉粥样硬化溃疡的AEF的多排螺旋计算机断层扫描结果。
