Silent Type-B Aortic Dissection Accidentally Discovered in a COVID-19-Positive Patient
Copyright © 2023, Gebril et al..
Aortic dissection is a critical medical condition that poses a significant threat to life, and if left untreated, it can lead to high mortality and morbidity rates. The risk of various cardiovascular complications, including aortic dissection, is increased in individuals with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). However, the significance of aortic dissection as a complication in COVID-19 patients is often underestimated. Traditionally, aortic dissection without pain was considered uncommon. However, recent information indicates that symptoms in patients with aortic dissection can be more diverse than previously believed. The classic symptoms of tearing chest, back, or abdominal pain may be absent, making diagnosis challenging. We present the incidental detection of an asymptomatic Stanford type-B aortic dissection during a computed tomography (CT) scan conducted to evaluate COVID-19. The patient was managed through conservative treatment.
