This case discusses the presentation and diagnosis of a patient with an acute contained thoracic aortic aneurysm rupture at 38 weeks of gestation, after presenting with throat pain and syncope during the COVID-19 pandemic. 1 3 7 We present the case of a patient diagnosed with an acute aortic rupture at term during the COVID-19 pandemic. 17 The TTE findings seen in this case, along with the patient's history of syncope, were the predominant clinical clues for the cardiology team to determine the diagnosis of aortic aneurysm rupture. Aortic dissection and rupture are rare occurrences in pregnant patients, and require a high index of clinical suspicion given the similarity of symptoms with other pathologies during pregnancy, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic.	./cache/cord-257691-oka9d03h.txt	./txt/cord-257691-oka9d03h.txt
