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

Reversal of carotid dissection-induced ocular and cerebral ischemia by stenting

Purpose To present an example of how close clinical monitoring of a patient with acute Horner syndrome from carotid artery dissection may be critical in reversing neurologic dysfunction. Observations A patient whose initial neuro-ophthalmic manifestation was Horner syndrome, but who evolved over 14 days to display transient monocular vision loss, ipsilateral ocular ischemic syndrome, and epis...

Horner syndrome secondary to internal carotid artery dissection after a short-distance endurance run: A case study and review

Surgical Position, Cause of Extracranial Internal Carotid Artery Dissection, Presenting as Pourfour Du Petit Syndrome: Case Report and Literature Review.

Dissection of the internal carotid artery is a rare cause of stroke overall, but causes 22% of strokes in younger patients. A common clinical presentation is as Claude Bernard Horner syndrome. We report a craniotomy with 30 degrees rotation of the neck (standard position) in a patient with no major risk factors for carotid dissection, who showed a Pourfour du Petit syndrome due to a dissection ...

Teaching NeuroImages: internal carotid artery dissection presenting as Villaret syndrome.

A 63-year-old man presented with headache, hoarseness, and dysphagia. He had a left-sided Horner syndrome and wasting of the left sternocleidomastoid muscle. His tongue was deviated to the left on protrusion (figure 1). MRI and CT angiography revealed a distal left internal carotid artery dissection (figure 2). Villaret syndrome is a rare clinical entity comprising IX, X, XI, and XII cranial ne...

Carotid dissection following a generalized tonic-clonic seizure.

A 37-year-old woman experienced a generalized tonic-clonic seizure. Subsequent to the seizure, the patient observed left-sided face and neck pain. A left Horner syndrome was noted on examination. AnMRI and magnetic resonance angiogram revealed a left skull base carotid artery dissection without infarction (figure, A and B). Previous MRI had shown normal carotid flow voids. The patient was treat...
