متن کاملManagement of vertebral artery injuries following non-penetrating cervical trauma.
• Conventional catheter angiography is recommended for the diagnosis of VAI in selected patients after blunt cervical trauma, particularly if concurrent endovascular therapy is a potential consideration, and can be undertaken in circumstances in which CTA is not available. • Magnetic resonance imaging is recommended for the diagnosis of VAI after blunt cervical trauma in patients with a complet...
متن کاملRisk Factors for Vertebral Artery Injuries in Cervical Spine Trauma
Blunt cerebrovascular injuries (i.e. involvement of carotid and vertebral arteries) are increasingly being recognized in setting of cervical spine trauma/fractures and are associated with high incidence of stroke/morbidity and mortality. The incidence of vertebral artery injuries (VAI) is more common than previously thought and regular screening is seldom performed. However there exists no scre...
متن کاملIncidence of vertebral artery thrombosis in cervical spine trauma: correlation with severity of spinal cord injury.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The incidence of blunt traumatic vertebral artery dissection/thrombosis varies widely in published trauma series and is associated with spinal trauma. The purpose of this study was to determine the frequency of traumatic vertebral artery thrombosis (VAT) in cervically injured patients by using routine MR angiography (MRA) and MR imaging and identify associations with the ...
