摘要
Acute type A thoracic aortic dissections most commonly present with sudden onset of severe chest and/or back pain. We summarize the case of a patient with an acute type A dissection who presented with acute, painless paraplegia caused by malperfusion of the artery of Adamkiewicz. Although an uncommon cause of acute paraplegia, type A dissections should be included in the differential diagnosis.
