Traumatic rupture of the thoracic aorta. (Report of two unusual cases).

Two unusual cases of traumatic aneurysm of the aorta are described. Both presented several days after thoracic trauma sustained in a car accident. The presenting features were progressing dysphagia and displacement of the oesophagus in the first case and a coarctation-like syndrome in the second. Diagnosis was confirmed in each case by aortography and emergency resection of the aneurysm with a dacron prosthesis was carried out. Aortic rupture should be considered in all cases of thoracic trauma, especially when severe, even several days after the trauma itself. Patients should be evaluated with serial chest roentgenograms and an aortography should be performed in any suspicious case. Treatment is surgical and the operative mortality and morbidity is acceptably low.
