Abstract

Aortic aneurysms can remain asymptomatic or present with complications, including aortic dissection. Aortic dissection itself may manifest with a wide spectrum of signs and symptoms, which can make diagnosis challenging. A 63-year-old man is discussed in this article, who presented with episodes of seizure. He had a history of type B aortic dissection being treated medically. Chest computed tomography (CT) scan showed a 10 cm aortic aneurysm and dissection. He was admitted to the coronary care unit and underwent thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR). His postoperative course was uneventful, and he was discharged home in stable condition. One of the most important but easy-to-miss diagnoses to consider in patients with neurological symptoms is aortic dissection. Depending on the type and severity, and chronicity of the disease, different management plans can be considered. TEVAR is one of the new techniques in treating this condition.
