ABSTRACT
History A 30-year-old man presented to the emergency department with epigastric pain. He was vomiting and in distress, and he had a history of thalassemia. Physical examination findings were unremarkable. Pertinent blood results were a hemoglobin level of 10.5 g/dL (6.52 mmol/L) (normal range, 13.5-18.0 g/dL [8.38-11.17 mmol/L]) and a bilirubin level of 62 µmol/L (normal range, 3-17 µmol/L). The remaining hematologic and biochemical results were normal. Aortic dissection was suspected clinically, so the patient was referred for imaging. Unenhanced and arterial phase computed tomographic (CT) images were acquired initially. Ultrasonography (US) (images not shown) and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging were performed subsequently. Because of the imaging findings, the patient was referred for surgery.
