Supports considering silent type A dissection in transient spinal cord ischemia; leaves open need for prospective validation before changing practice.
Case Report (n=1)
Transient spinal cord ischemia can be the sole manifestation of a silent type A aortic dissection, highlighting the need for high clinical suspicion even when neurological symptoms self-resolve.
Nahed et al. (2021) conducted a case report in Type A aortic dissection (n=1). Surgical repair with Hemashield graft and aortic valve replacement was evaluated on Patient recovery. A 53-year-old man presenting with transient spinal cord ischemia was successfully diagnosed and treated for a silent Stanford type A aortic dissection.
