Aneurysms of the thoracoic aorta may on rare occasions lead to shortness of breath by external compression of the tracheobronchial tree. We report the case of a patient who presented with orthopnea due to extensive compression of the trachea and the major airways by a large aneurysm of the ascending aorta.
胸主动脉瘤在极少数情况下可因气管支气管树受到外部压迫而导致呼吸急促。我们报告一例患者，因升主动脉大动脉瘤对气管和主要气道造成广泛压迫而出现端坐呼吸。
