Azygos vein aneurysm is a rare cause of mediastinal mass. Most cases present as an incidental finding on imaging modalities, but in few cases the thrombosis in the aneurysm leads to pulmonary thromboembolism, which may require surgical resection. We present a case where, for the first time, a case of a complicated azygos vein aneurysm was diagnosed in infancy, which required surgical resection.
奇静脉动脉瘤是纵隔肿块的罕见病因。大多数病例是在影像学检查中偶然发现的,但少数情况下,动脉瘤内的血栓形成会导致肺血栓栓塞,这可能需要手术切除。我们首次报告了一例在婴儿期诊断出的复杂奇静脉动脉瘤病例,该病例需要进行手术切除。
