Author(s): Kalpana Choudhury, Jlalnunnem Thiek and Mayank Agarwal
Abstract: Aortic dissection during pregnancy is a rare but life-threatening emergency, occurring primarily in the third trimester or postpartum.Patients often present with sudden severe chest or back pain, but diagnosis can be challenging due to symptom overlap with other pregnancy-related conditions.Management requires a multidisciplinary approach balancing maternal and fetal risks.This case provides insight into the successful management of aortic dissection in pregnancy and underscores the critical nature of timely, coordinated care.
