    Abstract:
    A rare case of paraplegia after an emergency operation for DeBakey type I acute aortic dissection was reported. The patient was a 52-year-old female who complained of severe chest and back pain. She underwent graft replacement of the ascending aorta and the total aortic arch. No neurological symptoms were observed before the operation. The cause of the paraplegia was assumed to be a thrombotic occlusion of costal arteries which originated from the false lumen.
