B, Twelve days later, MDCT reveals a typical dissection; D, at 8 days of follow-up, MDCT shows an atherosclerotic ulcerated plaque (arrow) with IMH in the upper part of the descending aorta; F, at 2 months of follow-up, a CT scan shows that the intima has almost completely disappeared; H, 15 days later, the intima became enlarged.169
