Dynamic changes of intramural hematoma in patients with acute spontaneous internal carotid artery dissection

ConclusionsSpatial and temporal dynamics of intramural hematomas after spontaneous internal carotid artery dissection showed an early volume increase with concomitant progression of the internal carotid artery stenosis in 5 of 10 patients. Although spontaneous internal carotid artery dissection overall carries a good prognosis with spontaneous hematoma resorption in all our patients, early follow‐up imaging may be considered, especially in case of new clinical symptoms.
