Cervical artery dissection (CAD) is a significant cause of stroke in young adults, often presenting with pain or neurological deficits. Early noninvasive detection and monitoring are crucial for managing this condition.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Vascular Medicine
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Cervical artery dissection (CAD) is a leading cause of ischemic stroke in individuals under 45.
  • It is increasingly recognized due to heightened clinical awareness, particularly in patients experiencing painful ischemic events.
  • The internal carotid artery is the most frequently affected vessel, with cerebral ischemia being the most severe complication.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To summarize the current understanding of cervical artery dissection (CAD).
  • To highlight the importance of noninvasive diagnostic and monitoring approaches.
  • To discuss the clinical presentation, incidence, and prognosis of CAD.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on cervical artery dissection (CAD).

  • Discussion of diagnostic modalities including CT scan, MRI, MRA, and ultrasonography.
  • Analysis of clinical presentation, predisposing factors, and treatment approaches.

    • Main Results:

    • CAD typically affects young adults (mean age 40) with a male predominance.
    • Incidence is estimated at 2.6 per 100,000 annually, likely underestimated.
    • Clinical presentations vary, including cerebral ischemia, pain (cervical, cranial, occipital), Horner's syndrome, and cranial nerve palsy.

    Conclusions:

    • CAD has a favorable natural history, supporting noninvasive detection and follow-up.
    • While angiography is the gold standard, noninvasive imaging plays a key role.
    • The efficacy of heparin treatment in the acute stage remains unproven by randomized trials.
