A case report of aortic dissecting aneurysm in a 29-years-old woman is described. The father died of rupture of a dissecting aneurysm with acute hemopericardium at the age of 46 years. Histologic examination of the aortic wall revealed a loss of mucopolysaccharide-like material in the media and cystic medial changes. This dramatic familial cluster of aortic dissecting aneurysm suggests a genetically inherited disease although the basic defect remains to be found out.
