Abstract
A 17-year-old boy with a recent diagnosis of COVID-19 infection was admitted with acute chest pain due to type A aortic dissection and was subsequently diagnosed with the Marfan syndrome. Literature shows an increased rate of aortic dissection during flu season. The hypothesis is that a cytokine storm triggers the dissection.Entities:
