Pulmonary Artery Pseudoaneurysm: A Rare Cause of Fatal Massive Hemoptysis

Figure 1

Computed tomogram angiography of the chest in (a) axial plane and (b) coronal plane depicting multiple saccular, contrast-enhanced structures close to the branches of the pulmonary arteries. These were found to be mycotic pulmonary artery pseudoaneurysms (red arrows). Bilateral, bibasilar dense consolidations from necrotizing Staphylococcus aureus pneumonia (blue arrows) and cavities secondary to necrotizing S. aureus pneumonia (purple arrows) are also seen.
