Intramural haematoma is defined pathologically as aortic dissection without an intimal tear. We therefore believe that this term is inappropriate as an acute clinical diagnosis, and instead, use the term 'thrombosed-type acute aortic dissection'. We compared the features of thrombosed-type acute aortic dissection with those of classic dissection.
