摘要：

Acute aortic dissection is a rapidly fatal condition that may present atypically with focal neurologic manifestations. We report a case of Stanford type A aortic dissection presenting with status epilepticus. This unusual presentation posed an initial diagnostic challenge to the managing physicians. We further emphasize the need to be aware of the diagnostic difficulties in this condition and that early recognition with prompt surgical intervention is imperative in reducing significant morbidity and mortality.
