The patient is a 60-year-old male who reported epigastric pain radiating towards the dorsal area that had been progressing for several hours. He went to his primary care center with high blood pressure (220/110) and intense epigastric pain, requiring rescue analgesia. The patient was referred to the hospital, where an abdominopelvic CT scan was ordered to rule out acute aortic syndrome. The radiological examination showed an aneurysmal formation measuring 10mm in diameter, with fissuration and presence of a mural thrombus, originating in the celiac artery. The aorta presented a size within normal limits (Fig. 1).
