Internal Medicine, Interfaith Medical Center, Brooklyn, USA.

Aortic dissection and pulmonary embolism are medical emergencies that present with a spectrum of symptoms. Most cases of aortic dissection can present with acute chest pain, though some cases may present with other spectra of symptoms. In rare cases, aortic dissection can present simultaneously with pulmonary embolism. We are presenting a case where we saw aortic dissection and pulmonary embolism simultaneously. This case shows the subtle and atypical presentation of simultaneous occurrence of these two highly fatal diseases. To our knowledge, this case has not been published before.
