title: [Aortic dissection with normal aortography and x-ray computed tomography. A diagnostic trap not to be ignored].
abstract: We are reporting the case of a 63 y.old patient whose initial clinical examination and ultrasonographic data had led to the diagnosis of acute aortic dissection. Only an emergency surgical procedure was able to confirm the diagnosis, after failure of angiography and CT-scan to do so. In the light of this example, we are presenting a reminder of the sensitivity of various paraclinical examinations, classically accepted to establish this diagnosis.
