CONCLUSION
In conclusion, aortic root injury should be suspected in a patient with blunt chest trauma. The auscultatory finding of aortic regurgitation murmur along with radiographic evidence of intrathoracic injury should be investigated by echocardiography followed by CT of the thorax if clinically indicated. Urgent surgery for acute aortic root rupture leading to aortic dissection and severe aortic insufficiency is lifesaving and has a good outcome.
