Thoracic aortic dissection is a life-threatening diagnosis, which should not be missed. We present a case in which a patient who presented to the emergency department with chest pain was assessed and referred for admission for treatment of pneumonia, due to misinterpretation of a chest radiograph finding. The patient was re-reviewed and subsequently underwent further investigation, which confirmed aortic dissection. She underwent emergency thoracic endovascular aortic graft repair with stent graft insertion. This case demonstrates haemothorax as an uncommon complication of aortic dissection.
胸主动脉夹层是一种危及生命的诊断，不应漏诊。我们报告了一例患者，该患者因胸痛就诊于急诊科，由于对胸部 X 线检查结果的错误解释，被评估并转至内科住院治疗肺炎。该患者再次被审查，随后进行了进一步的检查，证实为主动脉夹层。她接受了紧急胸主动脉腔内修复术，并置入支架移植物。本病例展示了血胸是主动脉夹层的一种罕见并发症。
