Abstract

An autopsy case of typical traumatic rupture of the aorta is reported. The rupture was caused by deceleration injury, resulting from an automobile accident. A transverse linear tear was situated in the thoracic aorta just below the inserted portion of ligamentum arteriosum (Botalli). The tear transected the aorta almost completely, except for a small area 0.5cm in length. Both grossly and histologically, there was no evidence of previous disease of the aorta such as mesaortitis syphilitica, atherosclerosis, medionecrosis idiopathica cystica, etc.
