We report the case of a 23-year-old man who suffered a service accident by crushing the thorax between two tanks during army maneuvers that resulted in an adventitial rupture of the ascending thoracic aorta extending to the Crosse. Treatment consisted of replacement of the ascending aorta with a 24 mm Hemashield straight tube and re-implantation of supra-aortic vessels at the dome of the prosthesis.展开更多

The average age of the patients is 31.5 years with extremes of 2 years and 84 years. The tubercular etiology widely comes to mind with 49 cases. The diagnostic contributions of the echocardiography are analyzed. The accent is put on good tolerance hemodynamic of the tubercular pericarditis. The forecast depends essentially on the etiology and on the diagnostic delay;indeed the tamponade pericardium can be inaugural or complicated;the evolution of the pericarditis is burdened of a heavy mortality (4.2% in our series). On the other hand the passage in the chronicity complicates essentially pericarditis seen late (8.6% in our series).展开更多
