He comes for abdominal pain of 6 months of evolution, vomiting and palpable tumor at epigastric level. High Digestive Endoscopy that confirms Trichobezoar that occupies the entire lumen of the stomach is performed. It is subjected to exploratory laparotomy, performing gastrotomy, extraction of Trichobezoar and primary gastrorrhaphy in two planes.

S.A.M. Said*1, A. Derks2, J. G. Grandjean3

Aim: To describe iatrogenic and spontaneous presentations of acute aortic dissection (AAD) type A.

Method: We report two cases of male patients with iatrogenic non-fatal and spontaneous fatal acute aortic dissection type A.

Results: Two male patients are discussed with different aetiology of acute aortic dissection type A. The first patient of 68-years-old, having progressive angina pectoris developed iatrogenic acquired AAD secondary to diagnostic procedure of coronary angiography. Emergent surgical procedure was performed. The second patient of 66-years-old, with known history of aortic dissection type B, presented with acute chest and back pain. The condition was misdiagnosed for acute pulmonary embolism followed by sudden death. Autopsy findings are discussed.

Conclusions: Iatrogenic acute aortic dissection type A is a rare complication of routine coronary angiography which requires emergent surgical intervention. Spontaneous AAD may be erroneously seen for acute pulmonary embolism.
