description Stanford type A acute aortic dissection (AAD) is a life-threatening illness that presents with chest pain and hemodynamic instability. Prompt and accurate evaluation and management are critical for survival as it is a cardiac surgical emergency. We aim to highlight the physicians about this potentially fatal condition, by reporting two cases of Stanford type A AAD, with atypical presentations that were initially misdiagnosed.
