Los aneurismas de la arteria bronquial son extremadamente infrecuentes y no suelen dar manifestaciones clínicas hasta que se rompen, momento éste en el que pueden comprometer la vida del paciente. Los aneurismas mediastínicos, al romperse, producen un cuadro clínico indistinguible de una disección aórtica. El pronóstico depende de un diagnóstico precoz y un tratamiento efectivo. El diagnóstico final suele darlo una arteriografía selectiva. En un menor número de casos se puede llegar al diagnóstico mediante una tomografía computarizada torácica (AU)
Bronchial artery aneurysms are extremely rare and clinical manifestations do not usually present until they rupture, an event which can be life-threatening. When a mediastinal bronchial aneurysm ruptures the clinical picture mimics aortic dissection, and early diagnosis and effective management will be essential for resolving this emergency satisfactorily. Definitive diagnosis is usually based on selective arteriography, although thoracic computed tomography can occasionally be diagnostic (AU)
