| Abstract | A 62-year old female patient admitted to the emergency department with complaint of increasing dyspnea. The patient had also admitted to ED with a fracture on the 12th thoracic vertebral due to falling and was advised to wear corsets and stay in bed rest and discharged three days ago. She had a history of heart failure for 10 years and had been using drugs due to it. On her echocardiography which performed to asses her for pulmonary embolism, ejection-fraction was 65% and cardiac cavities were normal. On her contrast-enhanced chest CT scan no pulmonary embolism was detected, but hemothorax and Tracheobronchopathia Osteochondroplastica which could enhance her dyspnea which had been existing for 10 years were detected (Figure: 1,2,3,4). The patient, who had been followed for heart failure for 10 years, had no other findings except Tracheobronchopathia Osteochondroplastica to explain dyspnea. |
