Imaging of Carotid Dissection
AbstractPurpose of ReviewHere, we describe the four primary imaging modalities for identification of carotid artery dissection, advantages, limitations, and clinical considerations. In addition, imaging characteristics of carotid dissection associated with each modality will be described.Recent FindingsRecent advances in etiopathogenesis describe the genetic factors implicated in cervical artery dissection. MRI/MRA (magnetic resonance angiography) with fat suppression is regarded as the best initial screening test to detect dissection. Advances in magnetic resonance imaging for the diagnosis of dissection include the use o...

Stroke in young adults: Five new things
Purpose of review The incidence of stroke in young adults is increasing, mainly driven by an increasing incidence of ischemic stroke in this population. We provide new information that has been recently presented regarding the risk factor prevalence, some specific etiologic causes, and management strategies in ischemic stroke in this population. Recent findings Recent studies indicate a rapid increase in traditional risk factors in young adults. New information regarding the management of patent foramen ovale in cryptogenic stroke and cervical artery dissection is available. Summary Stroke in young adults is a rapidly gr...

Cervical Artery Dissection in Patients of African Ancestry
Conclusion: AA patients represent a smaller proportion of CeAD cases compared to young stroke cases at our center. AA patients suffering CeAD have higher prevalence of both vascular risk factors and frequency of the CeAD risk allele compared to EA patients. These findings suggest a complex interplay between traditional vascular risk factors and genetic predisposition underlying CeAD pathogenesis. Further prospective research is needed to clarify these associations and disparities.Cerebrovasc Dis 2018;46:218 –222

Emergent cervical internal carotid artery angioplasty before endovascular thrombectomy for acute ischemic stroke: a report of clinical and imaging outcome
A case of tandem occlusion consisting of right internal carotid artery (ICA) origin dissection and middle cerebral artery (MCA) thromoboembolism is reported. A 45  year-old male with right-sided neurological symptoms of emergent large vessel occlusion was treated with same-session angioplasty and mechanical thrombectomy of the respective lesions. The complete neurological recovery and radiological investigations are chronicled herein, and a review of the st ate of tandem occlusion management is discussed.

Unusual case of traumatic carotid artery dissection occurred during a work-related activity. A case report.
We report a case of a 49-year-old industrial vehicles mechanic who was projected to the ground by the explosion of the tire of a heavy truck he was inflating. In the following hours he presented various neurological signs and symptoms and was admitted to the Emergency Department. During hospitalization the patient underwent clinical and instrumental investigations with AngioCT and MR finding of left internal carotid artery dissection in correspondence of its cervical segment and three acute ischemic lesions in the left temporal, parietal and occipital lobes. Medical management was successful and the patient was discharged ...

Reperfusion therapy in patients with acute ischaemic stroke caused by cervical artery dissection
ConclusionsIn our sample, the most common form of presentation of CAD was ischaemic stroke. Reperfusion therapy seems to be a safe and effective option for these patients, and outcomes resemble those of other patients with ischaemic stroke. Larger comparative studies are necessary to better assess response to reperfusion therapy in acute ischaemic stroke.ResumenIntroducciónLas disecciones de arteriales cervicales (DAC) provocan hasta el 20% de los ictus isquémicos en menores de 45 años. El beneficio de los tratamientos de reperfusión en fase aguda no está plenamente clarificado.MétodosRevisión retrospectiva de pacie...

Postoperative Stroke after Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion in Patients with Carotid Artery Stenosis: A Statewide Database Analysis
Carotid artery injury and stroke secondary to prolonged retraction remains an extremely rare complication in anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF). However, multiple studies have demonstrated that carotid artery retraction during the surgical approach may alter the normal blood flow, leading to a significant reduction in the cross-sectional area of the vessel. Others have suggested that dislodgment of atherosclerotic plaques following manipulation of the carotid artery can be a potential risk for intracranial embolus and stroke.

Endovascular repair of an acute symptomatic carotid artery dissection through the false dissecting carotid lumen.
Authors: Befera N, Griffin AS, Hauck EF Abstract A 48-year-old woman presented with an acute ischemic stroke (National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) 21) six hours after symptom onset. Workup revealed a left cervical internal carotid artery (ICA) occlusive dissection, which was emergently reconstructed with a flow-diverting stent. A routine Duplex scan one hour later suggested reocclusion of the ICA, confirmed by angiography. The true lumen of the ICA could not be accessed and therefore the "false lumen" of the ICA dissection was entered proximally. The true lumen and ultimately the flow-diverting stent ...

Bilateral Hypoglossal Nerve Palsy in an Adult Patient With Repaired Tetralogy of Fallot
Conclusions: This is the first case of multiple-vessel sCAD, and more associated with an unusual clinical presentation, in a patient with surgically repaired ToF, supporting the hypothesis that defective large artery elastogenesis plays a role in this congenital disorder, and suggesting the importance of continuous long-term vascular follow-up.

Migraine and cerebrovascular diseases: Epidemiology, pathophysiological, and clinical considerations.
In conclusion, migraine is a potential risk factor for cerebrovascular diseases. Migraineurs should be carefully evaluated considering their vascular risk assessment based on current evidence, so that healthcare professionals can provide appropriate and individualized management of other cardiovascular risk factors, notably quitting smoking and restricting use of oral contraceptives.

Natural History of Cervical Artery Fibromuscular Dysplasia and Associated Neurovascular Events
Conclusions: No new cervical artery FMD or aneurysm was observed on subsequent imaging. New carotid dissection was uncommon over a mean follow-up period of 35.3 ± 25.3 months and was the only non-atherosclerotic vascular event observed after FMD diagnosis.Cerebrovasc Dis 2018;46:33 –39

The potential dangers of neck manipulation & risk for dissection and devastating stroke: An illustrative case & review of the literature.
The potential dangers of neck manipulation & risk for dissection and devastating stroke: An illustrative case & review of the literature. Biomed Res Rev. 2018;2(1): Authors: Turner RC, Lucke-Wold BP, Boo S, Rosen CL, Sedney CL Abstract Chiropractic cervical manipulation is a common practice utilized around the world. Most patients are never cleared medically for manipulation, which can be devastating for those few who are at increased risk for dissections. The high velocity thrust used in cervical manipulation can produce significant strain on carotid and vertebral vessels. Once a dissection h...
