Aneurysm of an Aberrant Systemic Artery to the Lung

Rare Condition of Aberrant Arterial Supply to a Normal Lung: A Cases Series and Literature Review

Herein, we describe an aberrant artery to a normal lung, focusing on its classification, embryological hypotheses, diagnostic methods, and treatment modalities. We present three cases of aberrant arterial supply to a normal lung in various age groups (51 years, 5 months, and 29 years). The cases presented symptoms ranging from hemoptysis to respiratory distress. Successful transarterial embolization was performed in the 5-month-old infant. In addition, we collected case reports published from 1962 to the present from the literature to compare the trends in management and variations in manifestations.

Isolated Systemic Arterial Supply to Normal Lung with Aneurysm Formation: A Rare Entity with An Even Rarer Complication

Patient: Male, 61-year-old

Final Diagnosis: Isolated systemic arterial supply to normal lung

Symptoms: Asymptomatic

Medication:—

Clinical Procedure: —

Specialty: Radiology

Aneurysm of a systemic artery supplying the normal basal segments of the left lower lobe

The case of an aneurysm of a systemic artery supplying otherwise normal basal segments of the left lower lobe is presented. The diagnosis was correctly made postprocessed with three-dimensional reformatting using a multidetector row CT (MDCT) scanner. Conventional angiography was obviated.
