Two patients are reported in whom rupture of a thoracic aortic aneurysm presented with neck swelling and progressive stridor. Stridor occurred due to compression of the larynx by haematoma tracking up from the mediastinum. The presentation of thoracic aortic aneurysms and of rupture of thoracic aortic aneurysms are discussed with particular reference to mechanisms of cardiovascular and respiratory manifestations. The importance of early control of the airway is emphasised if there is to be any hope of survival from acute rupture.
