Arteriosclerosis and a dissecting aortic aneurysm were diagnosed radiographically and confirmed at necropsy in an aged female squirrel monkey (Saimiri sciureus). The radiographic findings closely resembled the analogous syndrome in man. The dissection began in the aortic arch, extended along the media, and recommunicated with the aortic lumen at the level of the renal arteries. Arterial lesions also included medial necrosis and moderate atherosclerosis.
通过影像学诊断出一只老年雌性松鼠猴（松鼠猴属）患有动脉硬化和主动脉夹层动脉瘤，并在尸检时得到证实。影像学检查结果与人类的类似综合征极为相似。夹层始于主动脉弓，沿中膜延伸，并在肾动脉水平与主动脉腔再次连通。动脉病变还包括中膜坏死和中度动脉粥样硬化。
