Proximal pulmonary artery aneurysms and
dissection are rare and lifethreatening conditions, which are usually detected
only during autopsy examination in cases of sudden death. These pathological
entities often occur as complications of chronic pulmonary hypertension and
most commonly result from pulmonary arterial hypertension associated with
various congenital cardiac lesions involving left-to-right shunting. This study
describes an autopsy case of a 38-year-old man who was diagnosed with
Eisenmenger syndrome 5 years prior to sudden death secondary to cardiac
tamponade following a ruptured pulmonary trunk aneurysm.
Key Words: Eisenmenger syndrome; Sudden
death; Pulmonary hypertension; Autopsy
