Cervical Artery Dissection in Young Women: Risk of Recurrence During Subsequent Pregnancies
Conclusion In this study, there were no CAD recurrences during subsequent pregnancies or postpartum, irrespective of the type of delivery. Thus, pregnancy after a history of CAD appears to be safe.

Varicella-Zoster Vasculopathy Causing Carotid Artery Dissection
This case raises the potential association between cervical arterial dissection and VZV vasculopathy. We advise angiographic imaging of neck vessels when VZV vasculopathy is suspected.

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...

Post-IV thrombolytic headache and hemorrhagic transformation risk in acute ischemic stroke
Conclusion: tPA-associated headache does not predict increased risk of HT and has no other prognostic importance in patients with AIS. Prospective studies with a larger cohort may be needed to further explore this relationship.

Posterior circulation ischemic stroke with aberrant vertebral artery cervical entrance at the C4 vertebral level
We describe 2 cases of recurrent ischemic stroke in the posterior circulation associated with an abnormal vertebral artery (VA) entrance into the transverse foramen. Neither patient had evidence of atherosclerotic disease, but both had arterial wall defects nearby the VA entrance at the C4 level suggestive of local arterial dissection.

Spontaneous cervical internal carotid artery vasospasm: Case report and literature review
We report a case of recurrent TIA caused by alternating cervical ICA spasms. We also performed a MEDLINE search of previous publications in English from 1950 to August 2013. The search was performed with both text word searching and the appropriate MeSH headings of "carotid vasospasm" and "stroke," "cerebrovascular accident," "TIA," or "brain attack." The bibliographies of each of the retrieved articles with similar cases were all reviewed and relevant citations in these listings were evaluated for inclusion in the review.
