Introduction: Thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA) is a cardiovascular disorder, associated with high morbidity and mortality. Most of these aneurysms are incidentally discovered while doing imaging studies. This report describes a unique pattern of TAA. Case Presentation: A 52 years old female presented in outpatient department with chronic back pain for 2 years. She was a known case of systemic arterial hypertension for 20 years and on irregular antihypertensive medications. The patient was worked up and found to have aortic aneurysm extending from upper descending thoracic aorta to right common iliac artery. Maximum diameter of false lumen was 53 mm and seen in lower thoracic and mid abdominal aortic level. Conclusion: TAA is a life-threatening condition with indistinct sign and symptoms. A high index of suspicion and early implementation of radiological studies are of paramount importance to reach the diagnosis.
