Cervical Artery Dissections in the Vancouver General Hospital (VGH) Stroke Database: A common stroke mechanism? (P5.161)

Conclusion: In this preliminary review, we have identified 26 patients with CAD in the first 6 months of our database collection. Although these results are from a single centre, this incidence of cervical artery dissection is much higher than expected. This analysis is ongoing and we will assess race-ethnicity, presenting features and preceding history of trauma and infection.Disclosure: Dr. Wilson has nothing to disclose.
