    AbstractWe present a case of 80-year-old woman with a history of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation admitted to the cardiology department due to syncope and chest pain with suspicion of pulmonary embolism. In course of further diagnostics the initial diagnosis was excluded and anticoagulant treatment was stopped. The real cause of the above signs and symptoms was aortic dissection. It was diagnosed by echocardiography and confirmed by CT scan. Patient was immediately transferred to the cardiosurgery department and successfully operated. The patient was discharged after 33 days in good condition.
