Résumé
A 24-year-old man presented with acute onset paraplegia related to complete occlusion of a thoracic stent graft placed 2 years prior for repair of traumatic type B aortic dissection. Following emergency surgery comprising reestablishment of aortic flow by stent removal and aortic reconstruction, the paraplegia started to resolve partly, despite an estimated 5-hour interval of preoperative myelum ischemia. Anatomical characteristics of the stent graft placement appear to have played a role in causing this rare complication. Six months later, the patient could walk again with a stick. This case shows that early intervention in cases of full paraplegia may be considered.
