These images show abdominal computed tomography scans obtained at three different timings. Both upper and lower computed tomography images are of the same lesion in the descending aorta. Despite the high flow in his arteries, his intra-aortic thrombi rapidly expanded. After 2 weeks of anticoagulation, his thrombi reduced in size.

Emergency dynamic thoracoabdominal contrast-enhanced CT revealed a slight progression of the intra-aortic thrombi and occlusion of the anterior spinal cord artery at the diaphragmatic level, compared with the previous reading at his former hospital (Figures 1 and 2).
These images show abdominal computed tomography scans of longitudinal views at admission to our hospital.
