title: Evaluation of traumatic rupture of descending aorta by aortography and computed tomography: case report with follow-up.
abstract: Small aortic injuries are difficult to detect by computed tomography. We report a patient with a traumatic aortic injury that was not demonstrated on two high-resolution computed tomography scans 1 month apart despite prior angiographic demonstration of the lesion.
