Pathologic Features

BACKGROUND Aortobronchial fistula (ABF) is a rare complication of a chronic thoracic aneurysm. An ABF secondary to Disseminated Tuberculous (TB) Aortitis and Takayasu Arteritis (TA) may present with extensive combinations of aneurysms and stenoses in different parts of the arterial system with involvement of other organs. CASE PRESENTATION A 29-year-old Filipino female, married, who was admitted to our institution due to sudden massive hemoptysis. A Computed Tomography of the chest showed pulmonary tuberculosis with lymph node involvement and pseudoaneurysm of the descending aorta. The pertinent physical examinations are blood pressure (BP) differential of 20mmhg of upper extremities, painless multiple nodular tongue, multiple cervical, and supraclavicular lymphadenopathies, grade 3/6 holosystolic murmur. On Computed Tomography of the aorta, there are combinations of aneurysms of the mid to distal descending thoracic aorta, distal abdominal aorta, superior mesenteric artery with stenoses of the subclavian and left renal arteries. She was immediately started on anti-TB medications, corticosteroids and was scheduled for aortic aneurysmal repair. However, there was a recurrence of massive hemoptysis leading to her demise. An autopsy of the thorax and abdomen revealed an acute pulmonary hemorrhage, aortobronchial fistula secondary to Disseminated Tuberculous Aortitis and Takayasu Arteritis. CONCLUSION A masked ABF should be suspected in a patient with massive hemoptysis and a pseudoaneurysm of the descending aorta. In a young female with disseminated TB aortitis, a concomitant TA should be investigated. Both can share the same clinical, radiological and pathologic features. It is fatal and needs prompt surgical or endovascular intervention.

Unilateral pulmonary oedema is a rare complication in the routine management of spontaneous pneumothorax. Previous reports have emphasized excessive negative intrapleural pressure, rapid re-expansion of the lung and bronchial obstruction as major factors in the pathogenesis. We have encountered four cases, and at least one of these factors have been absent in each case. Review of the literature, and our own experience suggests that the major factor is chronic and total lung collapse resulting in hypoxia and increased alveolar-capillary membrane permeability. Other factors which may be contributory are discussed.

Pulmonary Hemorrhage

Henoch-Schönlein purpura is a common vasculitic syndrome of childhood. Pulmonary hemorrhage is a rare complication, which resulted in death in three of four previously reported cases. We report concerning four additional patients with Henoch-Schönlein purpura and pulmonary hemorrhage. Three survived the episode. Aggressive and supportive care may improve survival.

Legal Consequences

We report two cases of femoral vein thrombosis after arterial PTA and subsequent pressure stasis. We discuss the legal consequences of these complications for information policies. Because venous thrombembolism following an arterial PTA might cause serious sequel or life threatening complications, there is a clear obligation for explicit information of the patients about this rare complication.
