ABSTRACT
Cervical artery dissection is a common cause of stroke in young adults. It might occur shortly after a forceful neck trauma or a minor injury. However, spontaneous dissection is also common, which is associated with genetic, anatomical or environmental risk factors. Cervical artery dissection can produce a broad spectrum of clinical presentation varying from local symptoms to focal neurological deficits determined by the arterial territory involved. Early recognition is important since immediate initiation of treatment can significantly improve patient outcomes. While clinical features may raise suspicion for dissection, the diagnosis has to be confirmed by neuroimaging findings. The purpose of this paper is to give an overview on cervical (carotid and vertebral) artery dissections while presenting 19 cases. During three years, we evaluated the clinical features, risk factors, diagnostic and therapeutic procedures of these patients admitted with extracranial artery dissection. The prognosis of the disease can vary, 42% of our patients became asymptomatic. Orv Hetil. 2019; 160(22) 861-868.
