[Usefulness of CT examination in diagnosing aortic dissecting aneurysms and their complications].

Authors discussed the most frequent CT signs of aortic dissection, such as: double- and multichannel aorta, intimal flap, displacement of calcifications into the aortic lumen, distortion of true aortic lumen, aortic dilatation and aortic wall thickening. Authors describe also the CT pictures of complications of aortic dissection: hematomas, rupture of aneurysm, false aneurysm, organs ischaemia and infection. CT is very useful modality in detection of aortic dissection and its complications.
