AbstractDissection of the abdominal aorta without an associated thoracic dissection is uncommon. It is usually associated with blunt abdominal trauma and commonly presents early with aortic occlusion. A case is presented where abdominal aortic dissection presented two months after lower abdominal trauma. It is suggested that the initiating event in this case was injury to the iliac vessels.
