Abstract
An uncommon middiastolic click was heard in 2 cases of dissecting aort ic aneurysm. Transesophageal echocardiography revealed prolapse of the intima flap into the left ventricle. The rare but specific auscultato ry finding of an additional heart sound may prevent wrong treatment by thrombolysis for suspected myocardial infarction.
