Background

Aortic dissections are cardiovascular cases with high mortality that can present with many different clinical findings. The development of preoperative neurological findings may negatively affect postoperative results.

Case presentation

In this case, a patient with a right common carotid artery occlusion due to type 1 aortic dissection, a plegic right lowers extremity, and a generalized tonic-clonic seizure just before surgery was presented. After the Bentall operation, spinal cord ischemia was diagnosed and pulse steroid treatment was started.

Conclusions

The case was wanted to be shared due to its specific neurological and vascular condition.
