| dc.description.abstract | We report the case of a 92-year-old woman who developed sudden paraplegia. A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the dorsal spine revealed extensive spinal cord infarction. Subsequent imaging demonstrated a Stanford type B aortic dissection complicated by false-lumen thrombosis, along with a coexistent saddle pulmonary embolism. Although the coexistence of pulmonary embolism and aortic dissection has been reported, it remains poorly understood and represents a major therapeutic challenge. In this case, the close anatomical relationship between the descending aortic dissection and the site of pulmonary artery thrombosis strongly suggests that the aortic dissection may have contributed to pulmonary thrombus formation through direct mechanical compression and disturbed local hemodynamics arising from their anatomical contiguity. This case illustrates a rare yet clinically significant overlap between two life-threatening vascular entities, suggesting a poorly characterized pathophysiological interplay and underscoring the need for early diagnosis and patient-specific therapeutic approaches. | en |
