  • Title: Intramural haematoma of the aorta presenting as fever of unknown origin.
    Author: Cheng CC, Lin CY, Han CL.
    Journal: Acta Cardiol; 2007 Aug; 62(4):409-11. PubMed ID: 17824303.
    Abstract:
    The clinical presentation of aortic intramural haematoma resembles aortic dissection in many aspects, but the underlying pathophysiology is quite different. Chronic aortic dissection may present as a febrile disease, but is seldom in aortic intramural haematoma. Here we report a case with aortic intramural haematoma with an initial presentation of febrile disease. The patient underwent surgical repair of the diseased aorta successfully and the fever resolved shortly after the operation.
