Abstract
A 76-year-old female had suffered from distal arch aortic aneurysm and chronic DeBakey IIIB type dissecting aneurysm. The patient underwent thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR). After TEVAR the patient had a motor and proprioceptive loss on the left side and a pain and body temperature loss on the right side below the level of T7. At diagnosis of Brown-Sequard syndrome, corticosteroid and free radical scavenger were administered soon afterwards. Her neurological deficits gradually improved and the patient was discharged with the aid of a walking stick three months after TEVAR.
