Abstract
We present a case of a chronic intramural haematoma of the aortic root discovered in the setting of an acute coronary syndrome. We investigated the nature of the lesion through echocardiography, computed-tomography, magnetic resonance and positron emission tomography. In conclusion, the use of complex multimodality imaging led to the final diagnosis and allowed to define the proper management of the lesion.
