Introduction
Corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a respiratory disease caused by
novel corona virus, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2
(SARS-COV-2), which was first reported in Wuhan city of China on
December 31, 2019 to world health organization 1.
Since then, more than 250 million people around the world have been
infected and unfortunately more than five millions of them have lost
their lives to date (November 2021) 2. Covid-19 can
present in a wide range of clinical manifestations, more commonly as
respiratory symptoms such as shortness of breath and cough. Furthermore,
it can manifest as cardiovascular symptoms such as palpitations and
chest pain 3 and cardiovascular complications such as
aortic dissection 4. Aortic dissection is described as
a tear in the intima layer of aortic wall which allows blood to flow and
accumulate between aortic layers and can propagate along the length of
aorta. It can manifest as various symptoms such as chest pain, weakness,
fatigue and unequal extremity pulses and blood pressures5. Despite all advances in medicine in the field of
diagnostics and treatments, aortic dissection has still a high rate of
mortality which makes it extremely considerable 6. In
this report, we aim to present our patient with aortic dissection and
recent COVID-19 and report her final destiny.
