Left Mandibular Pain in a Patient of Aortic Dissection Presenting with Acute Ischemic Stroke: a Case Report.
نویسندگان
چکیده
PURPOSE If a patient with aortic dissection (AoD) is inadvertently treated with thrombolytic agents, severe complications and poor outcomes are likely to ensue. We reported a case and postulated mandibular pain as warning sign for diagnosing AoD related stroke. CASE REPORT We report an 81-year-old woman presenting with left mandibular pain followed by left hemiplegia. Extracranial carotid duplex showed dissection of the right common carotid artery and chest CT angiography proved AoD. She did not have any typical chest or back pain. CONCLUSION AoD should be carefully considered in patients with acute ischemic stroke presenting with mandibular pain. A high clinical alert and urgent CT angiography may help identify AoD.
