Resumen
SUAREZ MIER, M.P. y MORANDEIRA, E.. Sudden death in a young caused by rupture of an aneurysm above the right sinus of Valsalva. Cuad. med. forense [online]. 2012, vol.18, n.3-4, pp.157-162. ISSN 1988-611X. https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/S1135-76062012000300015.
Proximal aortic aneurysms can involve aortic root, sinus of Valsalva or ascending aorta. In children and young individuals generally occur in the setting of an inherited connective tissue disorder as Marfan syndrome, although there are also familial non-syndromic forms of isolated aortic dissection. We describe an aortic dissection of an aneurysm of the right sinotubular ridge and discuss differential diagnoses. We review the syndromic disorders related to proximal aortic dissections and discuss the autopsy procedure for detection of inherited forms.
