Abstract
A 48-year-old man with treatment-naïve hypertension presented to the emergency department with sudden-onset subcostal pain that began abruptly while sitting. The pain persisted for several hours, was strangulating in nature, radiated to the back, and was associated with nausea and vomiting. He denied chest pain, cough, dyspnea, orthopnea, or neck pain. His medical history included cholelithiasis and appendicitis. He was a 20–pack-year smoker and lived alone. There was no significant family history, including cerebrovascular disease.
