متن کاملSupraclinoid carotid artery dissection following unusual trauma.
Dissection of the internal carotid artery usually involves the cervical portion but, rarely , may involve the intracranial portion. In contrast to extracranial dissection, the clinical course of intracranial dissection is often catastrophic, with rapid onset of profound neurologic deficit, occlusion of middle andjor anterior cerebral arteries, and high mortality rates. We describe a case of sup...
متن کاملAn Unusual Cause of Vertebral Artery Dissection: Esophagogastroduodenoscopy
Brain-supplying arterial dissection is considered one of the most common vascular causes of stroke in younger patients. Dissections are usually preceded by trauma or mechanical stress; the vascular stressor may be trivial as this condition has been described in association with manipulation and stretching the neck. Here we describe a case of vertebral artery dissection and stroke following esop...
