Abstract:Spontaneous rupture of the aorta without previous history of trauma, hypertension or apparent aortic pathology is rare. Delayed or nonoperative repair of this condition is usually lethal. We report spontaneous rupture of the ascending thoracic aorta in young man. A 20-year-old male who had complained of sudden onset of severe chest pain and dispnea was admitted to our hospital. Initially, acute type A closing aortic dissection was suspected but computed tomography (CT) showed no intimal flap, false lumen or aortic aneurysm.
