Abstract
A 25 years old male patient with traumatic aneurysm of descending thoracic aorta was treated successfully. He was admitted due to blunt trauma to the chest wall as falling down into water. He has been treated with closed thoracotomy and close observation. After a month simple chest film showed abnormal mass shadow around the aortic knob. Aortogram revealed aneurysm of descending thoracic aorta. Aneurysm was resected and replaced with woven Dacron graft with aid of Gotts shunt. His postoperative course was uneventful.
