Two cases of unusual rupture of aortic aneurysm

Rom J Intern Med. 1992 Jul-Sep;30(3):217-20.

Abstract

Two cases of unusual rupture of aortic aneurysm with extravasation in the bronchus and duodenum are described. The clinical evolution of such aneurysm ruptures is associated with considerable diagnostic difficulties due to the absence of pathognomonic typical features and the short survival time after onset of pain symptoms.
