Spontaneous hemothorax revealing aortic dissection and intramural hematoma

Acute Aortic Syndrome (AAS) is a group of life-threatening aortic diseases that includes Aortic Dissection (AD), Intramural Hematoma (IMH) and penetrating aortic ulcer. Intramural Hematoma (IMH) of the thoracic aorta is a rare, little-known but potentially lethal entity. It has several features in common with Aortic Dissection (AD). We report a clinical observation of a spontaneous hemothorax revealing aortic dissection and Intramural hematoma.
