Everything about Vertebral Artery Dissection totally explained
Vertebral artery dissection is the development of
dissection (a flap-like tear) in the
vertebral artery. It is commonly associated with
physical trauma but may also develop spontaneously. It is a major cause of
stroke in young people.
Presentation
Typical features are
neck pain associated with stroke-like symptoms of the "posterior circulation":
cranial nerve palsies,
ataxia, and cortical visual loss. It can also cause
subarachnoid hemorrhage (bleeding into the area around the brain); dissecting aneurysms of the vertebral artery represent about 4% of all
aneurysms.
Incidence
The annual incidence is about 1 per 100,000 in the
United States and 1.5 per 100,000 in
France.
