Recurrent carotid artery dissection can occur, sometimes in the contralateral artery, emphasizing the need for high clinical suspicion. Underlying arteriopathies may predispose individuals to dissection and recurrence.

Area of Science:

  • Vascular Neurology
  • Cardiovascular Medicine
  • Genetics

Background:

  • Arterial dissection accounts for 20% of strokes in adults under 45.
  • Recurrence risk is estimated at 4-8%, with a 1% annual risk.
  • Connective tissue disorders and vascular wall anomalies are potential predisposing factors.

Observation:

  • Two cases of recurrent spontaneous carotid artery dissection are presented from a series of 22 patients.
  • Recurrences occurred 15 days and 7 months after the initial event, both in the contralateral carotid artery.
  • One patient exhibited an ecstatic and tortuous vascular tree, suggesting underlying arteriopathy.

Findings:

  • Recurrent dissection can manifest with subtle symptoms, such as isolated headache, necessitating high clinical suspicion.

  • Underlying arteriopathies can predispose to both initial dissection and recurrence.
  • The presented cases showed satisfactory clinical courses post-recurrence.

    • Implications:

    • Highlights the importance of considering recurrent dissection in patients with a history of arterial dissection.
    • Suggests that genetic factors or connective tissue disorders may play a role in predisposition and recurrence.
    • Emphasizes the need for vigilant diagnosis and management of spontaneous arterial dissection, particularly in younger adults.
