Spontaneous cervical artery dissection is accompanied by a hypercoagulable state and simultaneous inflammatory condition
ConclusionWe found evidence for a hypercoagulable state in patients with sCAD as indicated by a shortened aPTT, which was associated with a trend to an increased leucocyte count at the same time. Our findings first strengthen the hypothesis that inflammation critically impacts on the occurrence of sCAD, and second linked this condition with a marked affection of the coagulation system.
