We present images of a chest CT scan of an 89-year-old man, showing an area of localised dissection in the convexity of the aortic arch. The ascending and descending aorta were not involved in the disease. The patient suffered a stroke, with severe neurological impairment. Differential diagnosis was undertaken.
