Hughes–Stovin syndrome presenting with massive pulmonary artery aneurysms: a case report

Key Points

Explore the presentation and management of Hughes–Stovin syndrome associated with large pulmonary artery aneurysms.
Detailed case report of a patient with Hughes–Stovin syndrome
Diagnosis confirmed through CT angiography
Management involving immunosuppression and anticoagulation
Endovascular intervention for large aneurysms
Patient presented with significant hemoptysis and thrombosis
CT angiography revealed massive pulmonary artery aneurysms
Aggressive immunosuppression was initiated to control aneurysm growth
Endovascular intervention effectively managed aneurysm complications

Abstract

HSS is a life-threatening condition that must be considered in young patients with hemoptysis and thrombosis, particularly when clinical features are suggestive but incomplete for Behçet's disease. CT angiography is essential for diagnosis. Treatment centers on aggressive immunosuppression to halt aneurysm progression, requiring a delicate balance with anticoagulation. Endovascular intervention is often necessary for large aneurysms to prevent a fatal outcome.
