Abstract

Aortic dissection is an uncommon life-threatening condition that may cause death or significant morbidity. An on time diagnosis is difficult in cases with atypical presentation. A “classical” presentation encompasses sudden, severe chest, back, or abdominal pain that is characterized as ripping or tearing. This article reports a case of aortic dissection presented with syncope and bradycardia with no pain. Aortic dissection was diagnosed by a combination of clinical suspicion, emergent bedside echocardiography, and computed tomography scan. The patient underwent immediate surgery, and ultimately dischared with a favourable outcome.

Özet

Akut aort diseksiyonları acil servislerde çok sık rastlanmayan ve sıklıkla fatal seyreden acillerdir. Atipik semptomlarla gelen olgularda zamanında tanı koymak oldukça zordur. Klasik olarak aort diseksiyonu, ani başlangıçlı yırtılır tarzda göğüs, sırt ya da abdominal ağrı ile birliktedir. Bu yazıda 38 yaşında, yalnızca senkop ve bradikardi ile başvuran ağrısız aort diseksiyonu olgusu sunuldu. Olgunun tanısında klinik şüphe, acil yatak başı transtorasik ekokardiyografi ve bilgisayarlı tomografi önemli rol oynadı. Acil cerrahi uygulanan hasta başarı ile taburcu edildi.
