Popis: A case of an acute aortic dissection (AAD) has been reported in a 61-year-old woman, in whom, by the mono and two-dimensional echocardiography (M and 2D E) the authors have detected: 1) The disconnection between the intima and adventitia. 2) A flap of the intima in the aortic cavity. The authors emphasize the usefulness of the M and 2D E because it permits: 1) An early diagnosis of the AAD. 2) A reduction of the lapse between the angiographic examination and the surgical therapy. 3) A better prognosis.
