Distinguishing posterior mediastinal and pulmonary masses from aneurysms and tortuosity of the descending thoracic aorta may be difficult, as five such cases illustrate. Both the neoplasms and the aortic aneurysms or tortuosity can compress the same vital mediastinal structures; thus, they may give rise to the same symptoms. Because the plain film findings may also be similar, aortography is essential to their diagnosis.
如下5例所示,区分后纵隔和肺部肿块与降主动脉瘤及迂曲可能存在困难。肿瘤与主动脉瘤或迂曲均可压迫相同的重要纵隔结构,因此,它们可能引发相同的症状。由于X线平片表现也可能相似,所以主动脉造影对其诊断至关重要。
