Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Surgery
  • Trauma Surgery
  • Diagnostic Imaging

Background:

  • Aortic injuries are often missed in polytrauma patients due to confounding factors.
  • Younger patients with fewer atherosclerotic changes present diagnostic challenges for traumatic aortic injuries.

Observation:

  • A 34-year-old male presented with back pain after a traffic accident, initially discharged after normal X-rays.
  • Delayed presentation with dyspnea and dysphagia prompted further investigation.

Findings:

  • Aortography revealed a traumatic descending aortic rupture with a pseudoaneurysm.
  • Surgical repair involved pseudoaneurysm excision and aortic reconstruction with a Dacron graft.

Implications:
