| Abstract: |
| Blunt traumatic aortic injury is the second leading cause of death after motor vehicle accidents. The most frequent localisation of aortic lesion is the isthmus, especially in those who survived the accident. Here we report a case of blunt traumatic aortic injury with unusual localisation and modality. A 31 years old man sustained a motorcycle accident, being run over by a car. Computed tomography scan showed an atypical ascending aorta lesion, confirmed by intraoperative finding. The patient underwent emergency ascending aorta replacement with Dacron tubular graft. The patient was discharged uneventfully on 35th postoperative day, after multiple maxillofacial surgeries for concomitant injuries. |
