Abstract
Aortic dissection is a major differential diagnosis in an elderly male with severe chest pain radiating to the back, with a history of hypertension, smoking, or connective tissue disorders such as Marfan and Ehlers-Danlos syndromes. Acute Aortic Dissection is a medical emergency with very high mortality rate if undetected and untreated. This report describes the case of a patient presenting with extensive aortic dissection with no significant risk factors who was diagnosed following a CT angiogram of the aorta. He was subsequently managed medically before being transferred for definitive surgical management with a good outcome.
