case_images: The frontal sectional view of reconstructed contrast-enhanced computed tomography shows that the descending aorta is flexed to almost a right angle at the seventh costal level, and an aneurysm emerges just distal at the curved portion. The main body of the aneurysm is in the right thoracic cavity, and its maximum diameter is 70 mm, with calcified intima.

case_images: Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) demonstrated that the descending aorta was flexed to almost a right angle at the seventh costal level, and just distal at the curved portion, an aneurysm emerged with a maximum diameter of 70 mm and calcified intima (Figure 1).
