Abstract
Aortic dissection usually presents as an acute emergency and less commonly presents as chronic dissection. Two-dimensional and transoesophageal echocardiographic features of aortic dissection generally show dissection flap, dilated aorta and aortic regurgitation. We report a very unusual and extremely rare case of a 40-year-old female patient with chronic aortic dissection presenting as functional double aortic valve.
