ABSTRACT
Proximal pulmonary artery aneurysms and dissection are rare and life-threatening conditions, which are usually detected only during autopsy examination in cases of sudden death. These pathological entities often occur as complications of chronic pulmonary hypertension and most commonly result from pulmonary arterial hypertension associated with various congenital cardiac lesions involving left-to-right shunting. This study describes an autopsy case of a 38-year-old man who was diagnosed with Eisenmenger syndrome 5 years prior to sudden death secondary to cardiac tamponade following a ruptured pulmonary trunk aneurysm.
