A aortic dissection (Figure 1). A dedicated CT thorax with contrast confirmed the presence of a Stanford type A aortic dissection extending from the aortic root up to the arch (Figure 2). Furthermore, the known chronic Stanford type B dissection involving the descending aorta was also visualized (Figures 1 and 2).
Contrast-enhanced computed tomography of the thorax in coronal section showing the
presence of type A aortic dissection extending from the aortic root up to the arch with
an aneurysmal dilatation of the ascending aorta measuring 5.2 cm (arrows).
