Painless Aortic Dissection Simulating Guillain-Barré Syndrome
نویسندگان
چکیده
The aortic dissection may result in spinal cord ischemia and subsequent paraparesis. However, the presentation of aortic dissection with both paraparesis and the absence of characteristic pain is very unusual. Our patient had the progressive flaccid paraparesis without characteristic pain. The initial impression was GBS because of the antecedent history of febrile illness, the absence of sensory or sphincter involvement, the negative spine MRI, and the loss of F-wave responses in initial electrophysioloic studies. The diagnostic pitfall will be discussed.
