There is a Stanford Type A aortic dissection, with this single slice demonstrating blood/contrast filling the false lumen of the ascending aorta with areas of low attenuation possibly reflecting mixing of unopacified blood. There is mediastinal/aortic recess fluid, which may reflect rupture into the pericardial space.
