Summary

This study on carotid and vertebral artery dissection in 49 patients found that while most experienced symptoms like headache and neurological deficits, anticoagulation therapy led to improved outcomes in over half of those hospitalized.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Vascular Surgery
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Cervical artery dissection (CAD) is a leading cause of stroke in young adults.
  • Internal carotid artery (ICA) and vertebral artery (VA) dissections are significant cerebrovascular events.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the etiology, clinical manifestations, diagnostic techniques, and treatment outcomes of internal carotid and vertebral artery dissections.
  • To analyze the recovery rates and functional outcomes in patients with CAD.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective multicenter study involving 49 patients (35 men, 14 women) aged 17-60.
  • Evaluation of etiological factors (spontaneous vs. trauma-related).
  • Assessment of clinical presentations, diagnostic imaging (duplex sonography, MRA, angiography), and treatment strategies (anticoagulation).

Main Results:

  • Headache and neck pain were common (65.3%).
  • Ischemic cerebral symptoms occurred in 83.6% of patients.
  • Anticoagulation with heparin and warfarin was the primary treatment.
  • 57.1% of patients showed a decrease in NIHSS score during hospitalization, with 26.5% achieving good functional recovery.

Conclusions:

  • Cervical artery dissection requires prompt diagnosis and management.
  • Anticoagulation therapy appears effective in improving outcomes and reducing stroke severity.
  • Further research is needed to optimize treatment protocols for CAD.
