Overview
As thoracic aortic aneurysm can be easily missed or misdiagnosed, differentiating them from other causes of chest pain is crucial.
Differential diagnosis
- Abdominal aortic aneurysms [1]
- Acute myocardial infarction [2]
- Congestive heart failure
- Aortic regurgitation
- Blunt chest trauma
- Hypertensive emergency
- Hemothorax
- Pneumothorax
- Pericarditis
- Pulmonary embolism
- Cardiac tamponade
- Superior vena cava syndrome
