Abstract
Abstract:
Aortic cause of acute chest pain or abdominal pain can be easily overlooked. Unceasing
wariness is required for timely diagnosis and prompt treatment. In such cases, cross-sectional imaging
can detect the type of aortic involvement, its site, extent, complications, and could help clinicians decide
on a management method and prognosticate the condition. This pictorial illustration represents a
spectrum of life-threatening conditions involving the aorta in a non-traumatic setting.
