E-104 Young man with osteogenesis imperfecta presenting with acute stroke from carotid dissection and subsequent contralateral pseudoaneurysm

ConclusionOsteogenesis imperfecta (OI) has been associated with numerous cerebrovascular conditions including carotid cavernous fistulas, cerebral aneurysms, and carotid dissections with attendant risk of stroke. While our patient was able to be successfully treated for his initial carotid dissection in the acute phase, he was at higher risk for stroke, whereas his subsequent carotid dissection was identified pre-symptomatically and treated electively. Judicious evaluation of patients with OI for cervical carotid dissections is warranted for early identification and treatment.Disclosures A. Mbaluka: None. R. Sanchez-Mejia: None. R. Ryan: None.
