INFANTILE ANEURYSM OF THE DUCTUS ARTERIOSUS: Diagnosis, Incidence, Pathogenesis, and Prognosis

Abstract. Heikkinen, E. S., Similä, S., Laitinen, J. and Larmi, T. (Departments of Surgery, Paediatrics and Roentgenology, University of Oulu, Oulu, Finland). Infantile aneurysm of the ductus arteriosus. Acta Paediat Scand, 63:241, 1974.–A neoplastic‐like density on X‐ray is not a rare diagnostic problem in infancy. Nevertheless, knowledge about the infantile ductal aneurysm (IDA) producing a characteristic tumour‐like mediastinal shadow on plain chest film is very limited.
