Abstract :Aortic dissection is a rare but potentially lethal complication during pregnancy in young women and usually diagnosis could be overlooked. We reported a 40-year-old postpartum female with aortic dissection which developed in peripartum period. She complained of interscapular back pain and chest pain. The patient`s pain had continued after caesarean section. She admitted to our clinic six days after this intervention. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography revealed the aortic dissection. Hemiarch replacement performed successfully and the patient discharged uneventfully despite of delayed diagnosis.
Keywords : Peripartum aortic dissection, pregnancy complications, monitoring
