Abstract: The timely detection of acute aortic syndrome, which includes aortic dissection, intramural hematoma, and penetrating atherosclerotic ulcer, reduces the incidence of cardiovascular death due to this disease, which requires knowledge of its imaging spectrum as an essential diagnostic element. The aim of this review was to describe the radiological manifestations of acute aortic syndrome. This syndrome occurs due to an acute process of the aortic wall, which gives rise to a relatively similar symptomatology, the most representative of which is chest pain. It is one of the most dramatic and serious cardiovascular emergencies, in which the appropriate, timely and rational use of imaging for diagnosis is one of the pillars for appropriate medical action in the face of this clinical syndrome.
