A 28-year-old soccer player presented with collapse and left-sided chest pain during a prematch warm-up. Pain was also present in the left side of the neck. He had not suffered from chest pain before. A cardiac murmur had been described in childhood and attributed to pulmonary stenosis but never followed up. On initial examination, he was hypotensive, with a systolic murmur in the aortic area and a pulsatile mass in the left supraclavicular fossa (Figure 1A). There was no blood pressure differential between arms, but the femoral pulses could not be felt. A chest radiograph (the first the patient had ever received) revealed widening of the left upper mediasti-num (Figure 1B). Contrast-enhanced computed tomography showed an aneurysmal diverticulum of the aorta that ex-tended into the neck and gave rise to a normal-sized left subclavian artery (Figure 1C). The wall was markedly thickened, with high attenuation before contrast, in keeping with an intramural hematoma. Coarctation of the aorta was iden-tified distal to the aneurysm (Figure 1C). There was no rib notching.
