Aortic
dissection is a rare but potentially lethal complication during pregnancy in
young women and usually diagnosis could be overlooked. We reported a
40-year-old postpartum female with aortic dissection which developed in
peripartum period. She complained of interscapular back pain and chest pain. The
patient's pain had continued after
caesarean section. She admitted to our clinic six days after this intervention.
Contrast-enhanced computed tomography revealed the aortic dissection. Hemiarch replacement performed successfully and the
patient discharged uneventfully despite of delayed diagnosis.
