Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is a sensitive and specific procedure that gives detailed images of the thoracic aortic anatomy and blood flow; however, there are few reports on pitfalls with TEE. This case describes a patient with a typical history of a possible aortic rupture; artifacts in the TEE mimicked aortic rupture and development of a pseudoaneurysm. Echocardiographers should know this possible pitfall to make the correct diagnosis.
经食管超声心动图（TEE）是一种敏感且特异的检查方法，可提供胸主动脉解剖结构和血流的详细图像；然而，关于TEE陷阱的报道较少。本病例描述了一名有典型主动脉破裂可能病史的患者；TEE中的伪像模拟了主动脉破裂和假性动脉瘤的形成。超声心动图检查者应了解这种可能的陷阱以做出正确诊断。
