    1. Patient Presentation

    • A 52-year-old man presented with acute chest pain.

    • An electrocardiography (ECG) examination gave normal results.

    • Coronary stenosis or aortic dissection were suspected and ECG-gated CT was
      requested. The coronary arteries were observed to be normal, but an anomaly of the aortic
      root was detected.
