case_images: It showed parenchymal consolidation, enlarged paratracheal and para-aortic lymph nodes and thickening of walls of the ascending aorta, aortic arch and its branches (Fig. 1).
case_images: Doppler ultrasonography of affected vessels. A) Evident, smooth thickening of the common carotid artery wall, particuraly in the birurcation (up to 2.8 mm). B) Stenosis of the left sublavian artery. Courtesy of Rafal Malecki, MD, PhD.
