Similarly, in the past dissecting aneurysm of the aorta has been held to occur almost exclusively in older individuals particularly in the presence of hypertension. The authors' interest in the occurrence of dissecting aneurysms in young individuals was stimulated by the following case which occurred in a woman of 22, 12 days post partum. Because of this case it became of interest to find out just how common or uncommon dissecting aneurysm of the aorta is in young individuals, and a study. . .
