Zusammenfassung:	Acute aortic dissection is one of the most common life-threatening diseases that affects the aortic vessel. We present a case of acute Stanford type A aortic dissection in a patient with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) under treatment with angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors. A 68-year-old woman complaining of acute chest pain and dyspnea was admitted to the emergency clinic of our hospital on May 6, 2020. She had history of diabetes and hypertension.
