Diagnostic potential of routine brain MRI and high-resolution, multi-contrast vessel wall imaging in the detection of internal carotid artery dissection
Conclusion: The combination of brain MRI and clinical information could be used for the diagnosis of CAD and hrVWI should be sought for uncertain cases.

Internal carotid artery dissection in a patient with hemophilia A: a case report and literature review
We report the case of a man with hemophilia A who developed sCeAD and transient oculo-pyramidal syndrome and was treated with acetylsalicylic acid. We also review previous published cases of arterial dissection in patients with hemophilia, discussing the potential pathogenetic mechanism underlying this rare association and potential antithrombotic therapeutic options.

Craniovertebral Junction Anomalies: An Overlooked Cause of & #39;Posterior Circulation Stroke & #39;
Conclusions: CVJ anomalies can present as posterior circulation infarct. One must evaluate all patients with posterior circulation stroke, especially young patients, for possible CVJ anomalies. Dynamic lateral cervical spine X-ray is an important tool to diagnose AAD. CVJ anomalies represent a treatable cause of VAD.

Trends in admissions for intracranial dissections in the United States
Intracranial artery dissection (IAD) is rarer than cervical artery dissections (CeAD), and information is based on limited series with small cohorts. There are only several small-scale studies attempting to characterize the natural history of the disease. Herein, we analyze the prevalence of IADs in hospitalized patients using a national database.

“Incidence, characteristics and prognosis of cervical artery dissection-induced ischemic stroke in central Iran”
Ischemic stroke is the most common presentation of cervical artery dissection (CAD). Information regarding CAD-induced stroke is scarce, especially in the Middle East. Here we investigated the incidence of CAD...

Cervical Artery Dissection in Postpartum Women after Cesarean and Vaginal Delivery
Cervical artery dissections (CAD) are a disruption of the vessel wall, defined by the presence of a mural haematoma within the arterial layers.1 Although its incidence ranges from 1 to 2.6 per 100,000 patients per year,2 it is a common cause of stroke in young adults, accounting for up to 25% of ischemic strokes in this group.3,4

Vertebral Artery Tortuosity and Morphometric Characteristics of Patients with Recurrent Cervical Artery Dissection
Cervical Artery Dissection is an important cause of stroke in the young. Data on incidence and associations of recurrence in patients with cervical artery dissection are lacking. Increased Vertebral Artery Tortuosity Index has been reported in patients with cervical artery dissection and associated with earlier age of arterial dissection in patients with connective tissue disease.

Rural-Urban Differences in Diagnosed Cervical Artery Dissection in New York State
Conclusions: CeAD diagnosis correlates with population density as defined by rural-urban status. Our results could be due to underdiagnosis in rural areas or overdiagnosis with increasing urbanicity.Cerebrovasc Dis

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.

Antiplatelet vs. Anticoagulation in Cervical Artery Dissection: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials
Conclusions: Compared with the antiplatelet group, the anticoagulation group has a lower risk of ischemic stroke without increasing bleeding risk when treating CAD. Anticoagulation seems to be superior over the antiplatelet in treating CAD but needs to be further tested by specifying several issues, such as location, initial symptom types, and treatment protocols.

Micro-Embolic Signals and Dissection: Association or Causation for Stroke? A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Conclusions: Our meta-analysis showed 46% prevalence of MES in the studies which looked at acute stroke/TIA secondary to CAD using TCD. This finding supports the assumption that embolism may be a major cause of stroke in patients with dissection although this could be determined only in a small population.Cerebrovasc Dis

Vertebral Artery Dissection in a Woman Due to Golf: An Under Recognized Etiology
Conclusion: This patient is the first woman in the literature to suffer from VAD as a result of playing golf. The twisting motion of the head and neck in a golf swing may be a risk factor for dissection and subsequent development of stroke. As a result of increased female participation in golf, we expect to see increased incidence of women presenting with “golfer’s stroke” in coming years.

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.

Isolated Cervical Pain Revealing a Common Carotid Artery Dissection in a Child Following a Minor Trauma: A First Pediatric Case Report and a Review of the Literature
Conclusion: The diagnosis of cervical artery dissections remains a challenge because of its variable clinical presentation. It should be suspected in the context of neck trauma and treatment should be initiated rapidly to reduce the risk of ischemic stroke.
