Contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging to detect chronic aortic dissection complicated by acute aortitis

When chronic aortic dissection (CAD) is associated with aortic dilatation, the risk of aortic rupture increases. We report a case of CAD complicated by acute aortitis that was depicted in contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Contrast-enhanced MRI allows early detection of subtle chang...
