The authors report the rare case of spontaneous rupture of the aortic isthmus in the absence of preexisting aortic aneurysm or dissection in a hypertensive woman presenting with chest pain and haemomediastinum. The history of trauma 30 years previously, could have been a predisposing factor. The diagnosis of this condition remains difficult and is often missed. The physiopathological, aetiological, clinical and diagnostic features are reviewed. Transoesophageal echocardiography showing an intraparietal haematoma confirmed the aortic origin of the haemomediastinum. Conventional angiography was of no value in the reported case because of the absence of rupture of continuity or of an intimal tear.
