Propranolol: an unrecognized cause of central nervous system dysfunction in patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass.

An organic mental syndrome developed in a patient soon after he underwent repair of a dissecting thoracic aortic aneurysm. The operation was accomplished with cardiopulmonary bypass. Initially, the mental changes were thought to be related to the operation. However, they subsequently were shown to be associated with propranolol. The potential role of propranolol in inducing central nervous system disturbances is emphasized, and the literature on the subject is reviewed.

Atypical presentation of dissection of the ascending aorta in young men with cystic medial necrosis: MR findings.

Dissection of the ascending aorta is usually associated with severe chest and/or back pain. We describe three young men, with pathologically proven cystic medial necrosis, who presented with atypical clinical symptoms and ascending aortic dissection diagnosed by MR imaging and surgery. Patients with cystic medial necrosis and aortic dissection may not present with a classic acute chest pain syndrome.
