title: [Pulmonary artery stenosis in aggressive mediastinal fibrosis; diagnosis and 3D imaging with helical CT examination].
abstract: An aggressive mediastinal fibrosis was found in a 42-year-old female, suffering from dysphagia, stabbing pain in the chest, and an unclear weight loss. In this case, the rare combination of esophageal involvement, bronchial narrowing, and pulmonary artery obstruction could easily be demonstrated with a barium study and a helical CT examination including three-dimensional reconstructions.
