    We report a rare case of aortic dissection which fits into De Bakey Type I and Stanford A, presented with severe tearing chest pain, paraplegia, stupor, hypotension, and syncope. Echocardiography showed dissection involving aortic root. MRI showed aortic dissection involving ascending, arch and descending aorta. Patient was managed conservatively and he died within 12 hours after the admission.
