We report the case of a man who had thoracic pain and stroke. Transesophageal echocardiography enabled us to diagnose an intramural hematoma and a saccular aneurysm of the thoracic aorta before he died. Autopsy showed lesions compatible with syphilitic aortitis in the aortic wall. Transesophageal echocardiography and anatomopathologic findings are correlated, and the role of syphilis as a causal factor is discussed.
我们报告了一例患有胸痛和中风的男性病例。经食管超声心动图使我们能够在他去世前诊断出胸主动脉壁内血肿和囊状动脉瘤。尸检显示主动脉壁病变与梅毒性主动脉炎相符。经食管超声心动图检查结果与解剖病理学发现相关，并讨论了梅毒作为病因的作用。
