Clin Case Rep. 2022 Mar 17;10(3):e05625. doi: 10.1002/ccr3.5625. eCollection 2022 Mar.

Abstract

A 59-year-old man with a long smoking history presented with sudden back pain. Frank's sign was noticed in his bilateral ears, and computed tomography revealed Stanford type A acute aortic dissection. If young patients have Frank's sign, attention should be paid to aortic disease in addition to coronary artery disease.

Keywords: Frank's sign; aortic dissection; cardiovascular disease; coronary artery disease.
