The ascending aorta is dilated, with a large, eccentric, crescenteric thrombus at its anterior aspect. The thrombus originates at the aortic root and ends just before the origin of the innominate artery. Two contrast filled ulcerated cavities are seen at the right and left anterolateral aspects of the thrombus.

A contrast enhanced computed tomography aortogram revealed a large eccentric, cresenteric thrombus at the anterior aspect of the ascending aorta with two large ulcerations in its anterolateral aspects as a result of a chronic type A aortic dissection (Figures 1 and 2).
