Abstract
Acute aortic dissection is an extreme medico-surgical emergency. It’s often misdiagnosed, however it’s life-threatening condition that requires rapid diagnosis and treatment. We describe here a case of fatal acute aortic dissection in a 60 year old man, without medical history, who was misdiagnosed with acute coronary syndrome and died from extensive aortic dissection type A of Stanford within 24 hours. We reviewed the literature of acute aortic dissection and we focused particularly on clinical presentations, importance of a history and a complete examination, outcomes and investigations of aortic dissection.
