Isolated aortitis is a rare entity and was recently included in the 2012 Revised International Chapel Hill Consensus Conference Nomenclature of Vasculitides under the single organ vasculitis group. Isolated aortitis represents a challenging situation due to the lack of reliable diagnostic methodology. Here, we describe the case of a 46-year-old woman who presented with severe upper back pain. She tested negative for pulmonary embolism, myocardial infarction, and other usual causes of back pain. The case highlights the clinical presentation of a rare disease with a usual symptom.
孤立性主动脉炎是一种罕见疾病，最近被纳入2012年修订的国际教堂山共识会议血管炎命名法中的单器官血管炎组。由于缺乏可靠的诊断方法，孤立性主动脉炎是一种具有挑战性的情况。在此，我们描述了一名46岁女性患者的病例，她表现为严重的上背部疼痛。她的肺栓塞、心肌梗死及其他常见背痛原因检测均为阴性。该病例突出了一种罕见疾病以常见症状的临床表现。
