Distal Cervical Carotid Artery Dissection after Carotid Endarterectomy: A Complication of Indwelling Shunt

The technical factors and surgical methods employed in carotid endarterectomy are controversial. In particular, whether or not to use an indwelling arterial shunt during carotid endarterectomy remains a source of conflict. We describe a rare case in which uncomplicated carotid endarterectomy was followed by distal internal carotid artery dissection and suggest that this devastating complication...

[Horner syndrome as a manifestation of carotid artery dissection].

CLINICAL CASE A 42-year-old man presented with ptosis and miosis in his left eye and a history of headache over the last 20 days. An angioresonance showed dissection of internal carotid artery. DISCUSSION "Painful Horner's Syndrome" is considered to be a medical emergency due possible onset of an internal carotid artery dissection.

Spontaneous carotid artery dissection in a patient with Turner syndrome.

noid hemorrhage (SAH). A neck CT angiography (CTA) showed marked narrowing of the right ICA distal to the bulb, with irregular and tapered appearance ( fig. 1 a, b) suggesting ICA dissection. Intracranial extension of the dissection was suspected due to the presence of SAH. A transesophageal echocardiogram revealed a dilated ascending aorta and no evidence of aortic dissection. The remainder of...

Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection: A Rare Manifestation of Alport Syndrome

Alport syndrome (AS) is a genetic disorder due to inheritance of genetic mutations which lead to production of abnormal type IV collagen. AS has been associated with renal, auditory, and ocular diseases due to the presence of abnormal alpha chains of type IV collagen in the glomerulus, cochlea, cornea, lens, and retina. The resulting disorder includes hereditary nephritis, corneal opacities, an...
