Abstract

Objectives: To evaluate morphologic variations at the aortic isthmus with particular attention to DUCTUS DIVERTICULUM, a mimicker of TRAUMAtic pseudoaneurysm, and to describe differences using Computed TOMOGRAPHY (CT) images.Patients and Methods: From December 2013 to December 2014, patients who underwent a chest CT examination after blunt TRAUMA at our emergency department were included. Aortic isthmus morphologies were evaluated using multiplanar reconstruction (MPR) and maximum intensity projection (MIP) images as follows. Type I -concave contour, type II -convexity without a discrete bulge, or type III -a discrete focal bulge (defined as DUCTUS DIVERTICULUM).Results: After excluding 11 cases of TRAUMAtic pseudoaneurysm of the aortic isthmus, a total of 432 TRAUMA patients (mean age=47.1±19.1 years, number of males=318) were evaluated for aortic isthmus morphology, and classified as follows; type I (n=240, 55.6%), type II (n=157, 36.3%), and type III (n=35, 8.1%). As compared with TRAUMAtic pseudoaneurysm (n=11), DUCTUS DIVERTICULUM had a smaller vertical diameter (5.5±1.3mmvs.11.2 ±2.7 mm, P<0.001), a broader base (14.9±4.1mmvs.8.8±4.5 mm, P<0.001), a smoother margin (97.1% vs.27.3%, P<0.001), and formed obtuse angle with the aortic wall. Furthermore, DUCTUS DIVERTICULUM was not associated with the presence of a dissection flap or hemomediastinum.Conclusion: DUCTUS DIVERTICULUM, a mimicker of TRAUMAtic pseudoaneurysm of the aortic isthmus, is a frequently observed anatomic variant during CT examinations. Familiarity with its CT imaging findings could avoid it being confused with TRAUMAtic pseudoaneurysm in blunt TRAUMA patients.
