Abstract

Aortic dissection is unusual in young women, but when it occurs it is frequently associated with pregnancy and more importantly with pregnancy hypertension. 37 old women with gestational hypertension was presented with chest pain during delivery by cesarean section and a chest computed tomography scan was done and showed an aortic dissection; she was operated in emergency with successful outcome after delivery. Our aim is to put the point on the need to suspect the diagnosis of aortic dissection in a patient with preeclampsia and who complains of acute chest pain.
