Abstract

This article presents a case of type III aortic dissection presenting as a spinal cord syndrome with a prospectively negative initial aortogram. The patient serendipitously illustrates a multimodality approach to aortic dissection imaging. The advantages and disadvantages of conventional radiography, aortography, computed tomography, echocardiography, and magnetic resonance imaging are discussed.

Cardiac Aneurysm

Aneurysm refers to a bulge of the wall or lining of a vessel commonly occurring in the blood vessels at the base of the septum or within the aorta. In the heart, it usually arises from a patch of weakened tissue in a ventricular wall, which swells into a bubble filled with blood. Discover the latest research on cardiac aneurysm here.

Aortic Aneurysm

An aortic aneurysm is the weakening and bulging of the blood vessel wall in the aorta. This causes dilatation of the aorta, which is usually asymptomatic but carries the risk of rupture and hemorrhage. Find the latest research on aortic aneurysms here.
