Symptomatogenic acute cervical artery dissection following dental procedure – Case series
Cervical artery dissection (CAD) is an important cause of ischemic stroke which may occur following minor traumatic neck manipulations or hyperextension. This paper describes four cases of CAD secondary to dental procedures.Cases.four patients were admitted to the neurology department due to various neurological deficits, which developed subsequently to dental procedure. CT angiography demonstrated CAD in all patients. No predisposing background disease or other neck manipulations were found.

Spontaneous dissection of the bilateral internal carotid and vertebral arteries: A rationale for endovascular management
Spontaneous cervical-artery-dissection (sCAD) is a common cause of stroke in young patients. The incidence of concurrent sCAD of more than one neck artery ranges between 10 and 28% [1]. Multi-vessel sCAD is associated with a higher risk of intracranial hemorrhage as well as a higher risk of recurrent stroke or TIA [1]. Postpartum CAD accounts for 6% of spontaneous CAD in women under 50years of age [2]. Medical management is the primary treatment approach, while the role of endovascular intervention remains unclear.
