ABSTRACT
La disección aórtica es una dolencia potencialmente letal, con una incidencia en la gestante hasta 100 veces superior comparada con la de la población adulta. Suele presentarse con un cortejo típico caracterizado por dolor torácico. Presentamos el caso de una mujer de 37 años con antecedente gestacional y obesidad mórbida, diagnosticada de disección aórtica crónica tipo A por un hallazgo radiológico documentado a los 10 meses posparto (AU)
