WALTHER FALHOLT M.D.¹ GREGERS THOMSEN M.D.¹

¹ From Medical Clinic B, Physician-in-Chief, Prof. Erik Warburg, M.D., and the Radiological Department, Physician-in-Chief, Prof. P. Flemming Møller, M.D., Rigshospitalet, University of Copenhagen, Denmark.

This paper contains a brief review of the cases, published earlier, of aneurysms of the sinuses of Valsalva, and a case is reported in which the diagnosis was made before rupture of the aneurysm by means of thoracic aortography. No reports are to be found in the literature of the diagnosis of unruptured aortic sinus aneurysms and of the associated clinical findings. Roentgenograms, aortograms and catheterization findings are included.
