โœฆ Synopsis


We describe a case of a spontaneously occurring innominate artery perforation which, rather than resulting in immediate death, developed a subacute course with findings suggestive of an expanding mediastinai mass. The cause of the spontaneous perforation appears to have been a combination of atherosclerosis, Infection, and infiltration of the underlying structures with malignancy. This is a unique case of subacute spontaneous perforation of a great vessel.
