Respiratory infections may trigger cervical artery dissection (CAD). This study highlights three cases where patients developed CAD following upper respiratory tract infections, suggesting infection as a potential cause.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Vascular Medicine
  • Infectious Disease

Background:

  • The exact causes of cervical artery dissection (CAD) are not fully understood.
  • Infection is a potential factor contributing to arterial wall damage.

Observation:

  • Three male patients experienced cervical artery dissection (CAD) following respiratory infections.
  • Cases involved bilateral carotid and vertebral artery dissection, and recurrent internal carotid artery dissection.
  • Dissections occurred after upper respiratory tract infections, with some cases preceded by fever.

Findings:

  • Recurrent episodes of cervical artery dissection (CAD) were observed in one patient.
  • Complete vessel recovery was noted in one case of bilateral dissection.
  • All presented cases of cervical artery dissection (CAD) were linked to preceding respiratory infections.

Implications:

  • Infection could be a significant trigger for cervical artery dissection (CAD).
  • Further research is warranted to explore the link between infections and arterial dissections.
  • Understanding these triggers may lead to improved prevention and treatment strategies for CAD.
