Brachiocephalic vein aneurysm is a rare vascular malformation, which is often reported in case reports. At present it has attracted much attention due to the serious complications, such as vein aneurysm rupture, pulmonary embolism, venous thrombosis, etc. We report a case of left brachiocephalic vein aneurysm with compression symptoms.
a 52-year-old male who was admitted to our hospital with irritating cough for more than 1 month. Chest contrast-enhanced CT showed a localized expansion of 5.2 cm in diameter of the left brachiocephalic vein in the anterior mediastinum. The patient received venous angioplasty with brachiocephalic vein aneurysm resection, and the postoperative recovery was well.
Surgical operation is an effecive treatment method for brachiocephalic vein aneurysm, but it is still necessary to choose the appropriate way according to the type, size, location, lesion scope and complications of the vein aneurysm.
头臂静脉动脉瘤是一种罕见的血管畸形，多以病例报告的形式报道。目前，由于其严重的并发症，如静脉瘤破裂、肺栓塞、静脉血栓形成等，引起了广泛关注。我们报告了一例左头臂静脉动脉瘤伴压迫症状的病例。
一名 52 岁男性，因刺激性咳嗽 1 个多月而入院。胸部增强 CT 显示在前纵隔内左头臂静脉直径 5.2cm 的局限性扩张。患者接受了头臂静脉动脉瘤切除的血管成形术，术后恢复良好。
手术是治疗头臂静脉动脉瘤的有效方法，但仍需根据静脉瘤的类型、大小、位置、病变范围和并发症选择合适的方法。
