F:
Recognize
two contrast-filled lumens of the abdominal aorta - these lumens are divided
by an intimal flap.

INFO/WWW-LINKS:
Dissection ot lower thoracic and abdominal aorta. Splenic
metastasis from the known rectal carcinoma General information: In dissecting
thoracic/abdominal aortic aneurysms blood splits the aortic media, caused
by cystic media degeneration of the artery. Sudden onset of tearing chest
and/or abdominal pain radiating to the back. As dissection advances, branches
of the aorta may occlude leading sequentially to hemiplegia (caused by occlusion
of the carotid artery and cerebral infarction), unequal arm puls and blood
pressure (occlusion of the subclavian artery), paraplegia (occlusion of the
anterior spinal artery) and anuria (occlusion of the renal arteries).
D:
Dissection
ot lower thoracic and abdominal aorta.

It is not
easy to find an exactly corresponding slice to every pathological example!
For that reason the
