Abstract

A sinus of Valsalva aneurysm is relatively rare and usually involves a single sinus. We describe here the multidetector computed tomography features of a case of an unruptured sinus of Valsalva aneurysms that affected the left and noncoronary sinuses in a 51-year-old woman.

발살바동에서 발생한 동맥류는 비교적 드물며 대개 한 개의 발살바동을 침범한다. 저자는 51세 여자 환자에서 발생한 좌관상동과 비관상동을 침범하는 동맥류의 다검출기전산화단층촬영 소견 1예를 보고하고자 한다.
