AORTIC DISSECTING ANEURYSMSBRNLsAn 601for a surgical abdominal lesion might have resulted in a laparotomy.As it was, the prognosis given to the patients' relatives was rather more than guarded.Case 2 was obviously not a surgical case a week after admission.Being wise after the event, it seems strange that this case was not diagnosed, and reference to the case histories of other patients admitted to medical wards with the same condition suggests that correct diagnosis was not impossible. Summury,Patients with aortic dissecting aneurysms are sometimes admitted into surgical wards.A brief summary is given of the pathology, symptoms, and signs of this condition.Three case histories are given, in two of which a correct ante- mortem diagnosis was made.It is suggested that a correct diagnosis could be made more often.Free reference has been made to the excellent symposium on the subject by Shennan (1934).
