What Is It Called When A Person With Paralysis Has Blood Pressure Gets A Massive Headache?
I have having a problem remembering what it is called when a person with paralysis above T-8 has their blood pressure shoot up, get a massive headache, etc. It's AD something and I can't remember the name. Usually all that is needed is for the person to be cathed and that relieves the problem. Thanks.

Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
Paralysis with high BP and headache may be due to aortic dissection (AD). It can be confirmed by catheter angio and echocardiography/doppler. Good treatments are available for the same.
Please get back if you require any additional information.
