Abstract:
Aortic dissection is intimal tear in aorta and collection of blood in between the layers of aortic wall. The incidence of acute type A aortic dissection is between 2.1 and 16.3 per 100,000 persons [1]. Aortic dissection is an infrequent but potentially life threatening complication of pregnancy with most of the cases occurring in third trimester and post-partum period [2] . The most important predisposing factors to aortic dissection are Marfan, Ehlers-Danlos, Turner and Loeys-Dietz syndromes [3]. However, the non sporadic cases can also occur in pregnancy [4] .
