Implication

Recognizing aortic dissection in acute myelopathy prompts urgent CTA; extends sparse historical cases but leaves frequency and management open for prospective study.

Key Points

To describe and examine the clinicopathological features of spinal cord infarction resulting from a dissecting aortic aneurysm.
Performed pathological and histological evaluations of spinal cord and aortic tissue at post-mortem examination.
Demonstrates acute ischemic infarction of the spinal cord secondary to vascular compromise from aortic dissection.
Identifies disruption of arterial blood supply to spinal cord segments caused by the dissecting hematoma within the aortic wall.
