Abstract
A thin-walled, posttraumatic false aneurysm of the descending aorta in a 32-year-old
man was obvious on chest radiography, computed tomography, and aortography. The wall
of the aneurysm was not visualized on a magnetic; resonance imaging study. However,
a segmental absence of the lateral wall of the descending aorta indicated the level
of the abnormality. This finding was not observed on 100 consecutive normal aortas
studied with gated magnetic resonance imaging. It was observed in 2 of 50 normal aortas
on nongated thoracic magnetic resonance imaging.
