title: [A diagnostic trap simulating pulmonary embolism].
abstract: Pulmonary embolism is one of the differential diagnoses of "acute chest" syndromes. We report a clinical case of contained rupture of ascending aortic aneurysm with pulmonary arteries compression, which was presented as pulmonary embolism, and we well review the literature data of this diagnostic trap.
