title: Acute proximal aortic intramural hematoma: a case report.
abstract: The case presented here is of a 72-year-old man with an acute proximal aortic hematoma. He was hospitalized and underwent close monitoring and blood pressure control. Typical aortic dissection developed during his hospital admission. This case emphasizes the importance of frequent follow-up imaging during medical therapy of patients with aortic intramural hematoma. However, the frequency of imaging is yet to be determined.
