[Chronic disseminated intravascular coagulation caused by aortic dissection]

Abstract

Background: Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) is a severe disease. It can be caused by loss of pathology.

Case report: We report the case of chronic aortic dissection discovered during the evaluation of disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). This case is characterised by the severity of clinical presentation, challenging diagnosis and difficulty of therapeutic approach. Low dose of heparine may reduce the severity of this situation; but vital prognosis remains obscure.

Conclusion: aortic dissection is a rare but a severe cause of disseminated intravascular coagulation
