Cervical artery dissection in patients >=60 years: Often painless, few mechanical triggers
Conclusion:
In our study population of patients diagnosed with CeAD, 1 in 14 was aged ≥60 years. In these patients, pain and mechanical triggers might be missing, rendering the diagnosis more challenging and increasing the risk of missed CeAD diagnosis in older patients.
