Abstract

Spontaneous intra abdominal aortic dissection is a rare cause of vascular myelopathy associated with high morbidity and mortality. A high index of clinical suspicion is required to diagnose as early as possible with minimum investigations available so as provide immediate management. Though endovascular management is considered option of treatment for all dissections we managed our patient conservatively and are under continuous surveillance at present.
