Case Reports[Traumatic rupture of the aortic isthmus revealed by a mesenteric infarct].
The traumatic rupture of the aortic isthmus is one of the worst complication due to high speed motor vehicle accidents. When death is not the immediate consequence of this lesion, the initial clinical signs are not very clear. ⋯ A traumatic aortic rupture was actually diagnosed after the unusual discovery of a mesenteric infarct. In this case report, the mesenteric infarct mechanism can be controversed, and an emphasis should be put on an early aortic lesion diagnosis and repair in order to avoid any ischaemic complications.
