Paraplegia aguda. Uma complicação rara da dissecção aórtica

Abstract: Relato de CasoA dissecção aórtica aguda (DAA) é uma emergência médica que exige pronto diagnóstico e terapêutica agressiva, já que as complicações a ela associadas são múltiplas, graves e freqüentemente fatais 1 . Quando o paciente apresenta-se com dor precordial ou tóraco-abdominal de início abrupto, hipertensão grave e eletrocardiograma (ECG) não sugestivo de infarto agudo do miocárdio (IAM), a hipótese diagnóstica geralmente é levantada, sobretudo se a radiografia do tórax mostrar alargamento do mediastino … Show more

“…[2][3][4] Ischemic complications may develop in patients with type B acute aortic dissection involving any branch of the descending thoracic and abdominal aorta. [2][3][4] Spinal infarction or ischemia have been reported as complication of acute aortic dissection due to impairment of its extrinsic supply [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19] in the great radicular artery (GRA) of Adamkiewicz (Fig 1). 2,20,21 As awareness of the clinical significance of the extrinsic spinal circulation gains momentum, 22,23 minimally invasive or noninvasive imaging methods are emerging.…”

“…24,25 There have been no reports to our knowledge on spinal ischemic events caused by stable type B chronic aortic dissection. [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19] We report on a patient with type B chronic aortic dissection who had experienced multiple episodes of spinal transient ischemic attack (TIA). Selective views of the artery of Adamkiewicz with 64-channel computed tomography (CT) angiography enabled aortic fenestration, from T11 to L1, performed with supraceliac aortic cross-clamping (T8 to L2) via thoracoabdominal access.…”
