A review of carotid and vertebral artery dissection
This article reviews the literature to provide practical information for clinicians to recognise key risk factors and features of history and examination which should raise suspicion of cervical artery dissection. Diagnosis can now be made using the non-invasive, commonly available modalities of computed tomography angiography or magnetic resonance angiography. Timely treatment with antithrombotic agents is recommended to reduce the rate of an ischaemic stroke.PMID:35506728 | DOI:10.12968/hmed.2021.0421

The Case Files: Traumatic Carotid Dissection
By Hsiao, Jonie MD   A 30-year-old man who was right-hand dominant presented 10 days after sustaining left-sided face and head trauma from a fall from a skateboard at an unknown speed. He lost consciousness for several seconds, and initially developed a headache with nausea and vomiting. A non-contrast head CT performed at another hospital done two days after the incident was reportedly negative.   He now presents primarily with concerns about the appearance of his left eye. He has notable anisocoria and a droopy eyelid. His left pupil is notably smaller, 2 mm, compared with the right eye, 5 mm. Both are reactive. The re...

Risk Factors and Clinical Presentation of Cervical Arterial Dissection: Preliminary Results of a Prospective Case Control Study.
Conclusion Recent minor mechanical trauma or strain to the head or neck appears to be associated with cervical arterial dissection. General cardiovascular risk factors with the exception of migraine were not important risk factors for dissection in this cohort. Preceding transient neurological symptoms appear to occur commonly and may assist in identification of this serious pathology. Level of Evidence Prognosis, level 4.

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...

Review Epidemiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis, and management of intracranial artery dissection
Spontaneous intracranial artery dissection is an uncommon and probably underdiagnosed cause of stroke that is defined by the occurrence of a haematoma in the wall of an intracranial artery. Patients can present with headache, ischaemic stroke, subarachnoid haemorrhage, or symptoms associated with mass effect, mostly on the brainstem. Although intracranial artery dissection is less common than cervical artery dissection in adults of European ethnic origin, intracranial artery dissection is reportedly more common in children and in Asian populations.

Cervical arterial dissection: an overview and implications for manipulative therapy practice
.Cervical arterial dissection (CAD) is a common cause of stroke in young people under 55years. It can occur spontaneously or subsequent to minor trauma or infection. The incidence is difficult to determine accurately as not all CAD progress to stroke. CAD is the most catastrophic adverse event associated with cervical manipulative therapy but it is rare. 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.

Thunderclap headache: Diagnostic considerations and neuroimaging features
Thunderclap headache (TCH) is an acute and severe headache that has maximum intensity at onset; TCH can be primary or secondary. Primary TCH is diagnosed when no underlying cause is discovered; however, imaging is crucial in distinguishing secondary causes, which are wide-ranging. The radiologist should be aware of the list of potential diagnoses. Subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) is the most common cause of secondary TCH. Aneurysmal SAH accounts for the majority of cases, although other causes should also be considered and these include perimesencephalic haemorrhage, arteriovenous malformations, and dural arteriovenous fistu...

High Frequency of Incidental Angiographic Abnormalities in RCVS: Implications For Pathophysiology? (P03.164)
CONCLUSIONS: RCVS is associated with a high frequency of angiographic abnormalities such as cerebral artery dissection. Further studies are warranted to determine whether these reflect a subtle underlying structural abnormality that lowers the threshold for RCVS.Disclosure: Dr. Kursun has nothing to disclose. Dr. Singhal has received personal compensation as an expert witness in medicolegal cases involving stroke in young adults. Dr. Singhal's wife is an employee of Vertex Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Dr. Singhal has received research support from Pfizer and Photothera, Inc.

Reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome and cervical artery dissection in 20 patients
Conclusion: The association of RCVS and CeAD was found in 12% of our patients with RCVS and 7% of our patients with CeAD. Underlying mechanisms are unknown. In practice, our results point to the need for a systematic study of both cervical and intracranial arteries in the 2 conditions.

E-007 Unusual Two Cases of Dissecting Cervical Internal Carotid Artery Pseudo-aneurysm with Symptomatic Intracranial Aneurysm
Conclusions In the evaluation of suspected intracranial aneurysm who present with headache with neck pain, a catheter cerebral angiogram not only will clearly define the correct morphology of intracranial aneurysm but also will appropriately identify the presence of life threatening cervical ICA abnormalities. Additionally, presence of an unusual cervical ICA anatomy with DP may warrant further evaluation of intracranial blood vessel of same territory. Using endovascular strategies, both extracranial and intracranial DP could be treated. However, long-term follow-up and outcome is unknown. Further studies are required. Di...

Headache in Intracranial and Cervical Artery Dissections
Abstract Dissection refers to a tear in the wall of an artery, with the two main types being intracranial or extracranial. Dissections tend to occur most commonly in the young, sometimes secondary to trauma involving the neck. To confirm a dissection, some type of vessel imaging is necessary, including magnetic resonance angiography (MRA), computed tomography angiography (CTA), or angiography. The most common presentation of a dissection (especially extracranial) is pain, usually head and neck pain along with a Horner’s syndrome. Patients may also present with ischemic symptoms, including transient ischemic att...
