Dissection of the carotid and vertebral arteries is an underdiagnosed cause of stroke, particularly in younger individuals. Early investigation with imaging and appropriate medical therapy is crucial for managing this condition.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Vascular Medicine

Background:

  • Dissection of carotid and vertebral arteries is an increasingly recognized cause of stroke.
  • It is a leading etiology of ischemic stroke in individuals under 50 and accounts for 20% of strokes in those under 30.

Observation:

  • This study details the clinical course and investigations of four patients with precerebral artery dissection.
  • Three patients presented with carotid artery dissection, and one with vertebral artery dissection.
  • Ischemic symptoms were present in three patients; one experienced symptoms after neck physiotherapy.

Findings:

  • Craniocervical arterial dissection requires prompt diagnostic workup.
  • Ultrasound, MRI, and CT are essential imaging modalities for diagnosis.
  • Treatment may involve antiplatelet agents or anticoagulation therapy.

Implications:

  • Improved diagnostic capabilities have shed light on dissection as a significant stroke cause.
  • Timely diagnosis and management are vital for preventing stroke complications.
  • This condition underscores the importance of considering arterial dissection in stroke patients, especially younger demographics.
