Understand the Problem
The question is asking to categorize different symptoms into their respective classifications based on medical knowledge. We need to match each symptom provided with the appropriate classification of either 'dissection symptom' or 'neurological symptom'.
Answer
Numbness and dizziness: Neurological symptoms. Acute tearing pain and pulsatile headache: Dissection symptoms.
Numbness and dizziness are neurological symptoms. Acute tearing pain and pulsatile headache are dissection symptoms.
Answer for screen readers
Numbness and dizziness are neurological symptoms. Acute tearing pain and pulsatile headache are dissection symptoms.
More Information
Aortic dissections often involve severe pain and can cause neurological symptoms if blood flow is restricted to the brain. Pulsatile headaches can be linked to vascular issues, which can include dissections.
Tips
A common mistake is assuming all headaches are solely neurological symptoms rather than also considering vascular causes.
