    Postpartum cervicocephalic artery dissection (CAD) is rare but associated with more coexisting conditions like reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome. Unusual headaches after childbirth warrant investigation for CAD and related syndromes.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Vascular Medicine
    • Obstetrics

    Background:

    • Cervicocephalic artery dissection (CAD) is uncommon following childbirth.
    • Limited data exists comparing postpartum CAD with nonpostpartum CAD.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate differences between cervicocephalic artery dissection (CAD) occurring postpartum and nonpostpartum in women under 50.
    • To identify unique characteristics and associated conditions in postpartum CAD.

    Main Methods:

    • A comparative study design was employed.
    • Consecutive patients with postpartum CAD were compared to a control group of women with nonpostpartum CAD.

    Main Results:

    • No significant differences in vascular risk factors or presenting characteristics were found between postpartum and nonpostpartum CAD groups.

  • Postpartum CAD patients demonstrated a higher incidence of coexisting conditions, including reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome (RCVS), reversible posterior leukoencephalopathy syndrome (RPLS), and subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH).

    • Conclusions:

    • Cervicocephalic artery dissection (CAD) and associated neurological conditions should be considered in women experiencing unusual headaches after childbirth.
    • Early recognition and investigation are crucial for managing postpartum CAD and its complications.
