Figure 1From: Concealed primary aortic sarcoma induced hypertensive encephalopathy resulting from a thoracic aortic occlusion: a case report Images of the patient’s 3DCT before surgery. (A) Axial and (B) sagittal section 3DCT scans of the aorta show near total occlusion of the descending thoracic aorta that is blocked with diffusely distributed thrombus-like mass (single white arrow). (C) 3DCT scan of the lower extremities shows total occlusion of the right common iliac artery (right triple white arrows) and left superficial femoral artery (left triple white arrows). 3DCT: three-dimensional computed tomography; PA: pulmonary artery; AA: ascending aorta; LA: left atrium; RV: right ventricle.Back to article page
