How can i be sure if my daughter has an aortic dissection or not?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Need to see Dr.: Your daughter would need to see a doctor who would also do certain diagnostic tests to localize, measure, and follow any abnormalities in her aorta. You don't say if an aneurysm or other problem has already been found. But if it has, i'm guessing her doctors are already doing baseline studies and keeping on top of her status.
