Intramural hematoma (IMH) is considered a part of acute aortic syndromes (AAS), a group of life-threatening aortic diseases with a similar presentation that appears to have different clinical manifestations and pathological and survival characteristics. AAS comprises three major entities, namely, aortic dissection (AD), IMH, and PAU. IMH-like classic AD is classified using Stanford and DeBakey classification systems to indicate the aortic area involved. Early diagnosis and treatment of AAS are crucial for survival; however, diagnosis of IMH may be delayed and challenging due to atypical presentation, investigation findings, and case progression. In this report, we describe a case of delayed and challenging diagnosis of a Stanford type A IMH that was managed surgically with a good outcome.
壁内血肿(IMH)被认为是急性主动脉综合征(AAS)的一部分,急性主动脉综合征是一组危及生命的主动脉疾病,其临床表现相似,但似乎具有不同的临床表现、病理和生存特征。急性主动脉综合征包括三个主要类型,即主动脉夹层(AD)、壁内血肿和穿透性粥样硬化性溃疡(PAU)。与典型主动脉夹层一样,壁内血肿也使用斯坦福和德巴基分类系统进行分类,以表明受累的主动脉区域。急性主动脉综合征的早期诊断和治疗对生存至关重要;然而,由于表现不典型、检查结果及病例进展情况,壁内血肿的诊断可能会延迟且具有挑战性。在本报告中,我们描述了一例诊断延迟且具有挑战性的A型斯坦福壁内血肿病例,该病例通过手术治疗,效果良好。
