What is the diagnosis?
Thick walled lung cavity in the lower lobe of left lung
Pericardial Cyst
Descending thoracic aneurysm with non obstructive intraluminal thrombus
Correct! The correct answer is "Descending thoracic aneurysm with non obstructive intraluminal thrombus".
 
In the default parasternal short-axis view on echocardiography, the descending aorta is visualized posterior to the left ventricle. In the presence of a large aortic aneurysm, it may appear as a separate pulsatile cavity located posterior to the left ventricle. In this case, the hyperechoic structure within the aortic lumen represents a thrombus. The final diagnosis was confirmed with a CT aortogram, which demonstrated a descending thoracic aortic aneurysm with intraluminal thrombus.

 
Good try! The correct answer is "Descending thoracic aneurysm with non obstructive intraluminal thrombus".
