History and Symptoms
The condition is difficult to detect and may go unnoticed. Most patients have no symptoms. However, a minority of patients may have some of the following symptoms:
- Hoarse
- Dyspnea or find it difficult to breathe or speak
- Shortness of breath
- Chest pain
- Upper back pain
The diagnosis is further complicated by the fact that many patients with the injury experienced multiple other serious injuries as well,[1] so the attention of hospital staff may be distracted from the possibility of aortic rupture.
