RESUMEN
Introducción:
La disección de Aorta se produce cuando la pared aórtica enferma por degeneración de la capa media, se produce rotura de la íntima y separación de la capa media. Son factores etiológicos hipertensión arterial, arteriosclerosis, asociación familiar, Sme. de Marfán, entre otros. Clínicamente pueden presentar dolor torácico, síncope, ACV, etc. Se sospecha en Rx de tórax, se confirma por TAC, RMN y Ecocardiograma (1,3,8,12). El hallazgo más frecuente en disecciones aórticas es un flap producido en la capa íntima de la pared aórtica que separa la luz verdadera de la falsa luz (10).ABSTRACT
Introduction:
Aortic dissection is a condition in which there is a tear of the intima and separation of the media layer of the sick aortic wall due to the degeneration of the latter. Etiology factors include high blood pressure, atherosclerosis, relatives with a history of aortic dissection, Marfan syndrome, among others. Its clinical manifestation may include thoracic pain, syncope, stroke, etc. It is suspected in chest X-ray and confirmed by CT scan, chest MRI and echocardiogram(1, 3, 8, 12). The most frequent finding in aortic dissections is an aortic wall intima flap separating the true lumen from the false lumen(10).
