Popis:	1. 1. Complete rupture of the normal thoracic aorta in young adults is rare. 2. 2. Traumatic rupture at the junction of the arch and the thoracic portion probably occurs, because this is the most mobile portion of the aorta. 3. 3. Rupture probably results from a sudden terrific blow to the thorax with both direct and contrecoup forces plus sudden torsion of the head and trunk. 4. 4. Two cases of traumatic rupture of the normal aorta involving the junction of the arch and the thoracic portion are reported.
