Abstract
The acute aortic syndrome can be caused by three interrelated conditions involving the aorta with possibility of rupture - aortic dissection, intramural hematoma, and penetrating atherosclerotic ulcer. Diagnostic imaging plays a pivotal role in diagnosis and management, with CT being the most commonly utilized. Although there is significant overlap between these three entities, understanding both the pathophysiology and imaging features is essential for facilitating prompt diagnosis and management.
