An aortic intramural haematoma is bleeding within the lining of the aorta without a visible tear. It is considered a warning sign for aortic dissection and requires urgent evaluation. An MRI may show thickening and signal changes in the aortic lining consistent with this condition. Finding an aortic intramural haematoma early may allow for urgent treatment before it progresses to dissection or rupture.
