Abstract
We describe the case of a male Caucasian patient with SIT and aortic dissection type A, who occurred to our Emergency Department with a severe clinical condition of shock. Using the fast diagnostic approach with chest X-Ray and echocardiography followed by computed tomography investigation, a Standford type A acute aortic dissection and the presence of SIT were detected. The patient was subjected to surgical treatment with optimal results in a short time. The event of aortic dissection is an extremely serious condition and the simultaneous presence of a critical clinical presentation with an unusual congenital anomaly could condition a correct and rapid diagnostic process. Only an accurate diagnostic investigation can give a quick diagnosis and useful elements for a correct therapeutic approach.
