Cervical Arterial Dissections and Association With Cervical Manipulative Therapy: A Statement for Healthcare Professionals From the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association AHA/ASA Scientific Statement
Conclusions— CD is an important cause of ischemic stroke in young and middle-aged patients. CD is most prevalent in the upper cervical spine and can involve the internal carotid artery or vertebral artery. Although current biomechanical evidence is insufficient to establish the claim that CMT causes CD, clinical reports suggest that mechanical forces play a role in a considerable number of CDs and most population controlled studies have found an association between CMT and VAD stroke in young patients. Although the incidence of CMT-associated CD in patients who have previously received CMT is not well established, an...

An Acute Ischemic Stroke Resulting from Aortic Dissection
A 39-year-old man with syncope and persistent dizziness was sent to stroke emergency. Patient's diffusion magnetic resonance imaging of brain showed acute ischemia in right cerebella and right occipital lobe, thus intravenous recombinant tissue plasminogen activator was given to him. However, the patient behaved rather restless with repeated complaint of back and thoracic pain. Further thorax computed tomography angiography confirmed that the underlying cause turned out to be aortic dissection.

Spontaneous cervical epidural haematoma mimicking stroke: a  case report and literature review
Folia Neuropathol. 2022;60(2):261-265. doi: 10.5114/fn.2022.116940.ABSTRACTSpontaneous spinal epidural haematoma (SSEH) is a rare disease that requires emergency decompression or haematoma evacuation to prevent permanent neurological deficits. Hemiparesis is an extremely rare presentation of SSEH, commonly misdiagnosed as stroke. With the help of case studies and references, this paper comprehensively discusses the effective methods to distinguish SSEH from stroke and provides theoretical support and ideas for rapid and accurate identification of SSEH. Herein, we report on the case of a 51-year-old man with SSEH who presen...
