Abstract


A 50-year old woman was admitted to our hospital with symptoms of acute stress disorder. Her past medical history was unremarkable. She was examined by the psychiatrists who evaluated that she needed to be hospitalised. The anteroposterior chest radiograph at admission raised the suspicion of an abnormality which was confirmed by the following computed tomography (CT) scan (Figs. 1-3).
