A case of successfully repaired traumatic aortic dissection was reported. A 66-year-old woman with a blunt chest trauma from the car accident was transferred to our hospital. ⋯ The postoperative course was uneventful. Blunt chest trauma is very rare to cause aortic dissection, and the operative indication should be determined with careful consideration of the associated organ injuries.

Case Reports[A case of surgical treatment of acute aortic dissection without an intimal tear].
We experienced a case of acute aortic dissection without an intimal tear. A 55-year-old woman with SLE presented with acute chest pain. TEE study showed dissection of the ascending aorta, and accompanied by pericardial effusion. ⋯ However, intimal tear was not found. She underwent graft replacement of the ascending aorta and the total aortic arch, and had an uneventful postoperative course. Histological examination of a segment of ascending aorta showed no evidence of mucinous degeneration and pathological rupture of the elastic fiber.
