Acute aortic syndrome is one of the most serious cardiovascular emergencies. It includes three related clinical conditions: classic aortic dissection, intramural hematoma and penetrating atherosclerotic ulcer, chest pain being its main clinical manifestation. The severity of acute aortic syndrome depends on its location in the aorta. Thus, those that originate in the ascending aorta (Stanford type A) have the most serious prognosis and require urgent surgical resolution. For proper diagnosis it requires a high degree of clinical suspicion and the appropriate use of imaging techniques, among which are computed tomography, transesophageal echocardiography and magnetic resonance imaging. This review article addresses general aspects of the acute aortic syndrome with particular emphasis on imaging.
