Cerebrovascular disease: CeAD and migraine — an association built on shifting sands
Nature Reviews Neurology 13, 261 (2017). doi:10.1038/nrneurol.2017.55 Authors: Caspar Grond-Ginsbach & Manja Kloss A growing body of evidence indicates that people with migraine have an increased risk of cervical artery dissection (CeAD). A new study in young patients with ischaemic stroke has identified a specific link between CeAD and migraine without aura.

Intracranial and Extracranial Neurovascular Manifestations of Takayasu Arteritis (P6.255)
Conclusions:Intracranial vascular abnormalities in TA patients presenting with neurological symptoms are not rare, with cerebral vasculitis seen in 7.8% of patients and stroke secondary to large vessel occlusion in 3.9% of patients. Cervical vascular manifestations of TA were present in the majority of patients in our study.Disclosure: Dr. Bond has nothing to disclose. Dr. Nasr has nothing to disclose.

Intracranial and Extracranial Neurovascular Manifestations of Takayasu Arteritis ADULT BRAIN
CONCLUSIONS: Intracranial vascular abnormalities in patients with Takayasu arteritis presenting with neurologic symptoms are not rare, with cerebral vasculitis seen in 7.8% of patients, and stroke secondary to large-vessel occlusion, in 3.9% of patients. Cervical vascular manifestations of Takayasu arteritis were present in most patients in our study.

Genetic Imbalance in Patients with Cervical Artery Dissection.
CONCLUSION: The findings suggest that rare genetic imbalance affecting cardiovascular system development may contribute to the risk of CeAD. Validation of these findings in independent study populations is warranted. PMID: 28367076 [PubMed - in process]

Cervical artery dissection in patients >=60 years: Often painless, few mechanical triggers
Conclusion: In our study population of patients diagnosed with CeAD, 1 in 14 was aged ≥60 years. In these patients, pain and mechanical triggers might be missing, rendering the diagnosis more challenging and increasing the risk of missed CeAD diagnosis in older patients.

Recognition of patients presenting with or at risk of craniocervical arterial dissection: Preliminary results of a prospective study
Background: Craniocervical arterial dissection (CAD) is a common cause of stroke in young people which in rare cases has been associated with cervical manipulative therapy. The mechanism is considered to involve pre-existing arterial susceptibility and a precipitating event. Pre-manipulative screening tests are limited in their ability to identify those at risk. In particular one difficulty is that the early features of CAD can mimic a painful musculoskeletal presentation and a patient may present for treatment of neck pain and headache with a dissection in progress.

Stenting of the cervical internal carotid artery in acute stroke management: The Karolinska experience.
Conclusions Our single-centre retrospective analysis of emergency stent placement in the extracranial internal carotid artery in combination with anterior circulation thrombectomy demonstrated high technical success, reasonable clinical outcomes and acceptable rates of symptomatic intracranial haemorrhage in carefully chosen patients which are triaged interdisciplinary based on clinical and computed tomography imaging criteria. This warrants further study in a randomised prospective trial. PMID: 28304205 [PubMed - in process]

The Bizarre Side Effect 1 In 100 People Experience During Sex
For SELF, by Zahra Barnes. As your sexual arousal ramps up on the trippy journey to orgasm, pleasure is probably the only thing on your mind. Unfortunately, for some people, pain interrupts the party. At least one percent of adults experience coital cephalalgia, or “sex headaches,” aka head pain that occurs before, during, or after orgasm. Here’s what you need to know about this condition, which is basically the unpleasant epitome of a buzzkill. Mayo Clinic spotlights two kinds of sex headaches. The first is “a dull ache in the head and neck that intensifies as sexual excitement increases,” a...

Migraine and Stroke: What ’s the Link? What to Do?
AbstractMigraine and stroke are common, disabling neurologic disorders, with a high socioeconomic burden. A link between them has been proposed years ago, and various theories have been proposed to explain this bidirectional relation. However, the precise causes remain unclear. We briefly summarize existing hypotheses of this correlation seeking for recommendations for stroke prevention in migraineurs, if any exist. Among the strongest suggested theories of migraine –stroke association are cortical spreading depression, endovascular dysfunction, vasoconstriction, neurogenic inflammation, hypercoagulability, increased pre...

Migraine and the Risk of Carotid Artery Dissection
Stroke incidence is increasing among patients aged 40 to 60 years —faster than in older age cohorts. Preliminary evidence suggests that ischemic stroke—not hemorrhage or subarachnoid hemorrhage—accounts for the increase. Many speculate that increasing incidences of classic vascular risk factors among young patients contribute to the increased incidence of st roke. Certainly, we are all aware of the obesity epidemic and continued prevalence of smoking, leading to premature atherosclerosis. Furthermore, equally relevant causes of stroke in the young include migraine, drug abuse, cervical arterial dissections, patent fo...

The advantage of ultrasonography in the diagnosis of extracranial vertebral artery dissection: Two case reports
We reported 2 patients who complained of dizziness and pain, the findings of US confirmed the presence of extracranial vertebral artery dissection. Diagnoses: The floating membrane in lumen and intramural hematoma were found in US, consistent with vertebral artery dissection, whereas DSA revealed no typical sign of artery dissection. Interventions: In order to the definite diagnosis we persuaded the patients to undergo DSA, but there was no strong evidence on the diagnosis of vertebtal artery dissection. Outcomes: The patients were diagnosed of vertebral artery dissection by US. Lessons: US show more advantages in diag...

“Phacing” a New Cause of Carotid Artery Dissection
Conclusions: Noteworthy, among vascular abnormalities of PHACE, CADs have never been reported before. Our 2 cases suggest that CAD is an underecognized cerebrovascular manifestation of PHACE and it should be searched for in these patients. Ultrasound, being noninvasive and portable, is a useful tool for the assessment and follow-up of these patients.
