Rare case of aortic aneurysm with type a dissection (extending to right coronary artery) and severe ar in a nonhypertensive and non pregnant female

ConclusionAcute aortic dissection is a life-threatening disease with a high rate of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. The most important and common risk factor is systemic hypertension which has been reported in the 70% of the patients with aortic dissection. Most of the aortic dissection observed in young women has been reported to be related to pregnancy. Dissection should be suspected during any acute coronary syndrome, particularly Inferior wall MI.
