Aortic dissection is often a fatal condition if not recognized and treated emergently. Fortunately, it is extremely rare in children and adolescents. We report a case of an adolescent boy who survived an aortic dissection due to severe aortic root dilation. A comprehensive history and physical examination, including family history, can facilitate an early diagnosis of connective tissue diseases, such as Loeys-Dietz syndrome (LDS).
主动脉夹层如果未被及时识别和治疗，通常是一种致命疾病。幸运的是，它在儿童和青少年中极为罕见。我们报告一例因严重主动脉根部扩张导致主动脉夹层的青少年男性病例。全面的病史和体格检查，包括家族史，有助于早期诊断结缔组织疾病，如洛伊迪茨综合征（LDS）。
