Abstract
Nontraumatic aortic diseases include a spectrum of disorders, many of which result in high morbidity and mortality. This article highlights the multidetector computed tomography appearance of common and uncommon nontraumatic aortic entities: dissection, intramural hematoma, penetrating atherosclerotic ulcer, pseudoaneurysm, aneurysm, acute thrombus, chronic occlusion, and vasculitis. Additionally, classical imaging mimics and pitfalls are addressed. Radiologists should feel confident identifying these conditions and providing accurate diagnoses to expedite patient care and prevent devastating, even fatal outcomes.
