title: Magnetic resonance imaging of isolated abdominal aortic dissection.
abstract: In the absence of trauma or descending thoracic aortic dissection, abdominal aortic dissection is rare. This report presents a case of "isolated" abdominal aortic dissection. Magnetic resonance imaging may reliably diagnose and characterize these dissections without the use of contrast material.
