      • 1.
        Traumatic aortic rupture is a common, highly lethal injury. Without surgery, post-injury survival is precarious for the majority. A few form so-called ‘stable aneurysms’.
      • 2.
        Early diagnosis rests on constant awareness of the prevalence of this injury in sudden deceleration accidents, and critical appraisal of clinical and radiological signs.
      • 3.
        Aortography is essential in confirming or refuting the diagnosis.
      • 4.
        Chronic traumatic asymptomatic aneurysms are liable to complications. Surgical repair is recommended.
