Sažetak
Arterial dissections of craniocervical arteries are being increasingly identified due to growing awareness of clinical picture along with advances in imaging technologies. During one year period we observed 20 patients with craniocervical artery dissection in the cerebrovascular laboratory. Clinical picture, localization of the dissection and follow up investigation were analyzed. There were 20 patients divided in four groups: In the first group all 4 patients with common carotid dissection with or without aortic dissection presented with pain. In the second group with internal carotid dissection presented with pain in 5 out of 11, ischemic symptoms in all patients, and in 3 with Horner syndrome or lower cranial nerve palsies. All 4 patients in the third group with dissecting plaque had no pain, but had ischemic symptoms. In the fourth group was only one patient with isolated vertebral artery dissection who had no pain but presented with stroke. Pain was the most prominent symptom in patients with lower craniocervical artery dissection. Ultrasound enabled follow up of the dissection.
