摘要
Traumatic thoracic aortic pseudoaneurysm is a rare and has a high mortality rate.Forensic identification in a living individual is even more rare.We herein present the case involving a 25‑year‑old male who developed a thoracic aortic pseudoaneurysm after a traffic accident.The debate,in this case,focused on whether a causal relationship was present between the traffic accident and the aortic pseudoaneurysm.Based on the patient’s trauma history,clinical manifestations,clear evidence of chest trauma,surgical findings,and exclusion of potential diseases,we determined that a causal relationship was present between the trauma and the aortic pseudoaneurysm.We propose that potential autogenous diseases should be excluded in the future evaluation of similar cases.
