title: Acute ischemic stroke in aortic dissection: case report and review of literature.
abstract: The estimated incidence of aortic dissection ranges from 5 to 30 cases per million per year. Nearly 38% of cases are missed at an initial presentation due to the wide range of clinical symptoms. We report a survivor of an inadvertent thrombolysis in acute ischemic stroke, secondary to aortic dissection.
