ABSTRACT

The blunt thoracic aortic injury is a rare entity, but it carries a high morbimortality. For this reason, the diagnosis, classification and management represent a challenge for the physician. The present article describes the case of a previously healthy male patient, who suffers a fall from 4m and in which a pseudoaneurysm in the descending aorta secondary to the trauma is identified.
