  Background and objective: To analyze the temporal evolution of imaging findings and clinical follow up in craniocervical arterial dissection (CAD) patients. Methods: 32 patients (M: F=23: 9, mean age=49) with radiographic evidence of at least one of the suggestive imaging findings of CAD (arterial stenosis, arterial occlusion, luminal ectasia, pseudoaneurysm, and dissection flap) were performed. Median imaging follow up period was 89 days (SD=36.69). Clinical symptoms on presentation and follow up were also analyzed. Results: 21 patients had spontaneous dissection (65.6%). 11 had a history of trauma (34.4%). 14 (43.8%) patients presented with a stroke or TIA. Other presenting symptoms include headache (n=4, 12.5%), neck pain (n=9, 28.1%) and Horner’s syndrome (n=5, 15.6%). Involved arteries included Internal carotid artery (n=21, 65.6%), vertebral artery (n=10, 31.3%), and commo.. Read More»
