Acute aortic dissection is a life-threatening condition with high mortality rate. One of the many risk factors of this disease is the physiological pregnancy. It is necessary to make early diagnosis and start adequate treatment according to the needs of both the mother and the phoetus. We present a case of a pregnant woman at 33 weeks of gestation with type A dissection, and the management of general anaesthesia. Following a Caesarian Section, the ascending aorta was repaired.
