title: Thoracic aneurysm rupture presenting as a rapidly enlarging neck mass.
abstract: A rapidly enlarging neck mass is an unusual clinical complaint at the emergency department. We report a case of an acute left neck swelling caused by a haematoma from a ruptured thoracic aneurysm. This resulted in dynamic airway distortion and obstruction and posed a great challenge to airway management.
