Abstract

Traumatic rupture of the aorta is a frequent (10-15%) cause of death in automobile accidents. 10-20% of patients with this rupture live some hours to days before dying, and yet can be saved if the diagnosis is made in time. As clinical signs may be slight or absent the diagnosis must be made by the radiologist, who has three main tasks, namely (1) to detect the signs of the rupture on the plain film; (2) to perform angiography to prove the suspicion or to make a differential diagnosis; (3) to make angiography easily accessible without loss of time.
