Abstract:
Aortic intramural haematoma (AIH) is a variation of aortic dissection where blood collects within the aortic media without the presence of an intimal flap. The natural history of the disease has not yet been definitely established. Two cases of AIH type A are presented--an 81-year-old hypertensive male, and a 60-year-old male, both admitted to the hospital with sudden-onset severe chest pain. In both cases AIH type A was confirmed using computed tomography. One patient underwent successful conservative treatment, whereas another one had urgent surgery.
