Aortic
dissection occurs as a result of the rupture of the internal wall of the aorta,
and it is an emergency. We aimed to present 5 cases diagnosed with Aortic
dissection that visited us with typical/atypical symptoms which have very high
mortality rates in cases where the diagnosis is not made. The ages of the
patients who were all male were in the range of 49-66. Two patients were
brought due to complaints of chest pain, two were brought for syncope and one
was brought for abdominal pain. Additionally, there was a clinical case of stroke
in one of the patients who was brought for chest pain. All the patients were
hospitalized in the department of CVS for their monitoring and treatment. Our
provisional diagnosis must definitely consider acute Aortic dissection which
has a high mortality rate especially when patients with uncontrolled or newly
diagnosed hypertension visit emergency services with complaints of severe
chest, back and/or abdominal pain, and when there is an incidence of atypical
syncope or stroke.
