ABSTRACT
A bronchial artery aneurysm(BAA) is rare, and has an unclear etiology. However, it may be caused by conenital abnormalities and acquired diseases like as bronchiectasis, tuberculosis, and other infections. The pathogenesi s of a bronchial artery dilatation and the formation of an aneurysm results in an increase in the systemic blood flow to the chronic inflammatory pathologic lungs such as bronchiectasis or tuberculosis. It can be divided into the mediastinal and intrapulmonary BAA according to their location. The most common symptom is hemoptysis. Chest computed tomography and bronchial artery angiography may be used for a diagnosis. Treatment is mainly by a surgical resection of the aneurysmal artery. However, when patient is unstable due to massive hemoptysis or recurrent hemoptysis, bronchial artery embolization is useful. Here, we experienced a case of a bronchial artery aneurysm presenting as a massive hemoptysis.
