Guide To Common Aortic Dissection Symptoms

Vision Loss

Many of the symptoms associated with an aortic dissection are similar to those seen with a stroke. Previously discussed examples are paralysis or weakness on one side of the body and difficulty speaking. These symptoms often appear alongside vision loss. However, similar to paralysis and weakness, patients with vision loss due to an aortic dissection often deal with the loss on one side of their body. Typically, the vision loss will occur on the same side as the weakness and paralysis. Some patients will first deal with vision problems, such as blurry vision, before vision loss.
