Serendipitous Unearthing of Silent Multiple Giant Rasmussen's Aneurysms by Fluorine-18 Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography/Computerized Tomography

Indian J Nucl Med. 2018 Apr-Jun;33(2):136-139. doi: 10.4103/ijnm.IJNM_1_18.

Abstract

The authors report multiple giant bilateral pseudoaneurysms of pulmonary artery, also known as Rasmussen's aneurysms, which remained silent and unrevealed despite the large size and multiplicity unearthed by fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computerized tomography.

Keywords: Computerized tomography; Rasmussen's aneurysm; fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computerized tomography; pulmonary angiography.
