title: [A rare case of giant coronary aneurysms involving both coronary arteries: computed tomographic-angiographic findings].
abstract: We describe the case of a patient evaluated for the incidental finding of a suspected paracardiac mass. A computed tomography examination demonstrated two giant coronary aneurysms, containing endoluminal thrombi, involving both coronary arteries. Coronary angiography confirmed the diagnosis. The patient underwent surgical treatment because of the high risk of spontaneous rupture of the masses, owing to the early compressive effect especially on the right ventricular free wall.
