stroke in younger patients. Objectives 1. To determine whether, in patients with eICAD …

Cervicocerebral arterial dissections (CAD) are an important cause of strokes in younger
patients accounting for nearly 20% of strokes in patients under the age of 45 years …

BACKGROUND: Cervical artery dissection is often treated with anticoagulants to prevent
ischemic stroke. The risk-benefit ratio of anticoagulation versus antiplatelet therapy is …

Carotid artery dissection is a cause of stroke, especially in young and middle-aged patients.
A dissection occurs when there is an intimal tear or rupture of the vasa vasorum, leading to …

Spontaneous cerebrovascular dissections are subintimal or subadventitial cervical carotid
and vertebral artery wall injuries and are the cause of as many as 2% of all ischemic strokes …

Background and Purpose—We set out to investigate the predictors and time course for
recanalization of spontaneous dissection of the cervical internal carotid artery (SICAD) …

When a tear occurs in one of the major cervicocerebral arteries and allows blood to enter the
wall of the artery and split its layers, the result is either stenosis or aneurysmal dilatation of …

BACKGROUND: Cervical artery dissection (CADsx) is a common cause of stroke in young
patients, but long-term clinical and radiographic follow-up from a large population is lacking …

Background: The clinical outcome in patients with stroke associated with internal carotid
artery (ICA) occlusion is poor, although a minority may recover without dependency. The …
