title: Aortic dissection associated with acute myocardial infarction and stroke found at autopsy.
abstract: It is sometimes very difficult to diagnose dissecting aortic aneurysms in the early stage. We report an autopsy case in which an acute myocardial infarction and cerebral infarction simultaneously occurred and the symptoms were transiently ameliorated in a patient with an acute aortic dissection.
