Two cases of chronic aortic dissection are presented. In both, plain chest roentgenograms revealed calcification in the outermost aspect of the dilated aorta. It is clear that this represented calcification of the dissection rather than of the true intima. These cases indicate that apparent aortic intimal calcification with dilatation of the aorta is not completely diagnostic of an arteriosclerotic aneurysm and that a chronic calcified aortic dissection must also be considered in the differential diagnosis.
本文报告了两例慢性主动脉夹层病例。在这两例中，胸部X线平片均显示扩张的主动脉最外层有钙化。显然，这代表的是夹层的钙化，而非真正内膜的钙化。这些病例表明，主动脉内膜出现明显钙化且伴有主动脉扩张，并不能完全诊断为动脉硬化性动脉瘤，在鉴别诊断中还必须考虑慢性钙化性主动脉夹层。
