Abstract

A 40-year-old male patient with fever, cough, hemoptysis, and dyspnea was taken in for follow-up in intensive care unit under mechanical ventilation support due to bilateral alveolar infiltrations on chest radiograph and acute respiratory failure. Diffuse alveolar hemorrhage was diagnosed with bronchoscopic and radiological evaluation in addition to significant decrease in hemoglobin and hematocrit levels in short time. No cause was detected for diffuse alveolar hemorrhage. Ascending aortic dissection was detected on echocardiography and computed tomography angiography. Aortic root and aortic arch replacement was performed with a decision of urgent operation. Patient's clinical condition improved rapidly postoperatively. In this article, we present an aortic dissection case as a fairly rare cause for diffuse alveolar hemorrhage.

Özet

Ateşi, öksürüğü, hemoptizisi ve dispnesi olan 40 yaşında bir erkek hasta, akciğer grafisinde iki taraflı alveoler infiltasyonlar ve akut solunum yetmezliği nedeni ile yoğun bakım ünitesinde mekanik ventilatör desteğinde takibe alındı. Hemoglobin ve hematokrit seviyesinde kısa sürede belirgin azalmaya ek olarak, bronkoskopik ve radyolojik değerlendirme ile diffüz alveoler hemoraji tanısı konuldu. Diffüz alveoler hemoraji için herhangi bir neden saptanamadı. Ekokardiyografi ve bilgisayarlı tomografi anjiyografisinde çıkan aortta diseksiyon saptandı. Acil ameliyat kararı ile aortik kök ve arkus aort replasmanı yapıldı. Ameliyat sonrası hastanın klinik durumu hızla düzeldi. Bu yazıda, diffüz alveoler hemoraji için oldukça nadir bir neden olarak bir aort diseksiyonu olgusu sunuldu.
