ABSTRACT
Aortic dissection is a critical condition characterized by an intimal tear in the aortic wall, leading to the formation of a false lumen. We present a case of a 54-year-old male with chronic type B aortic dissection and hypertension who presented with acute tearing left back pain. Initial evaluation revealed elevated blood pressure and subtle laboratory abnormalities. Imaging confirmed a Stanford type B aortic dissection with an intramural hematoma and contained rupture of the false lumen. Despite initial stabilization efforts, the patient deteriorated rapidly and succumbed. This case highlights the critical importance of early diagnosis.
