Abstract
Background
: Acute aortic dissections are highly fatal and are usually a postmortem diagnosis. Painless acute aortic dissections can lead to delay in diagnosis and catastrophic results for the patient. Type A dissections extending into the vessels of the brain and neck can cause cerebral hypo-perfusion leading to neurological symptoms. Marfan syndrome and other connective tissue disorders are more susceptible to be diagnosed with acute aortic dissections.
Case Report
: We present a rare case of acute dissection presenting with dizziness and underwent surgical intervention.
Conclusion
: Identification of acute aortic dissection with atypical presentation is a challenging task for emergency physicians.
Keywords :
Aortic Dissection, Brain, Dizziness, Humans, Marfan Syndrome, Vertigo.
