Aortic dissection is a serious condition in which a tear forms in the inner layer of the aorta's wall, allowing blood to flow between the layers and potentially causing the aorta to rupture. This often presents with sudden, severe chest or back pain, described as a tearing or ripping sensation, and may be accompanied by shortness of breath, weakness, or loss of consciousness. Treatment is urgent and varies by type and location of the dissection, often requiring emergency surgery or endovascular repair to prevent fatal complications.
