Risk factors and clinical presentation of craniocervical arterial dissection: a prospective study. Article WebMethods: Clinical and radiological data of 114 patients with sCAD were collected prospectively. 2005;76(9):122933. Background: Vertebral artery dissection (VAD) may cause cerebral ischemia and impair quality of life (QOL) despite of good functional outcome. N Engl J Med. With carotid dissection, the dissection rarely goes completely through the artery due to its elastic outer layers. (2002) [5], mean age 50years, (2) posttraumatic stress symptoms as significant predictor for reduced SS-QOL Speck et al. Group D only displayed a significant lower mean value than groups I and M in the domain social roles. Source Reference: Markus H, et al "Antiplatelet therapy vs anticoagulation therapy in cervical artery dissection: the Cervical Artery Dissection in Stroke Study 2003;41(11):145260. Tedesco AM, Chiricozzi FR, Clausi S, Lupo M, Molinari M, Leggio MG. Three out of 34 showed dissected vertebral arteries on both sides (two patients with bilateral occlusion each, one patient without any stenosis). Any activities that could result in whiplash injury or extended periods of hyperextension of your neck. Arch Phys Med Rehabil. Although its pathophysiology and treatment closely resemble that of its sister condition, carotid artery dissection (CAD), the clinical presentation, etiology, and epidemiological profile of VADs are unique. In the most severe cases, vertebral artery dissection causes stroke: In some people, vertebral artery dissection occurs for no known reason. A total score of 40 points may be indicative for posttraumatic stress disorder. Antiplatelet treatment compared with anticoagulation treatment for cervical artery dissection (CADISS): a randomised trial. Am J Psychiatry. Last reviewed by a Cleveland Clinic medical professional on 08/07/2022. (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2588305/). The mean decrease of QOL, that is the difference of SS-QOL scoring, from pre-baseline to follow-up, was significantly stronger in the subgroups (mRS 02) with bad quality of life (SS-QOL3.9). 2011;92(5):7928. Subgroup analysis stratified for QOL by Stroke Specific Quality of Life Scale (SS-QOL) were done for patients with good functional outcome (modified Ranking Scale (mRS) scoring 02).

Arnold M, Bousser MG, Fahrni G, Fischer U, Georgiadis D, Gandjour J, et al. Provided by the Springer Nature SharedIt content-sharing initiative. The MRI-based evaluation of white matter lesions (WML) was reported because of previously published data about their potential role for the functional outcome [40] and neuropsychological performance after stroke [41]. If the dissection reaches your brain or theres a hemorrhagic stroke, then blood thinners may not be safe. Up to 25% of stroke cases in this age group are due to vertebral artery dissection. They included benign paroxysmal positional vertigo in 40%, vestibular neuritis in 24%, vestibulocochlear irritation in 4%, Schwannoma in 4%, suspected somatoform dizziness in 8% and nonspecific dizziness of unknown origin in 16%. The grade of white matter lesions (WML) showed no significant difference between groups, even if it was less frequent in stroke mimics. This important discrepancy of QOL and functional outcome after VAD remained to be sufficiently explained. The functional outcome, however, seems to be usually good in the majority of cases but there is still a lack of knowledge about the natural history of VAD and uncertainty concerning the appropriate follow-up management. When tics cause Likewise, mean values of pre-baseline total QOL were not significantly different. While post-stroke anxiety [9] and depression [10] have been described already earlier, even depression in stroke patients treated and non-treated with intravenous thrombolytic therapy [51], posttraumatic stress disorder has been coming to attention more recently. In addition, the autopsy findings of the 66years old patient with medulla oblongata infarction by VAD who deceased due to unexpected heart failure after baseline confirmed the diagnosis of VAD and support the validity of our data. They were almost 20years older than in other large study samples ( [3], mean age 439 [57], mean age 41.19.9]. Tourette syndrome is a childhood onset neuropsychiatric disorder characterized by involuntary or urge-driven motor and vocal tics. Get useful, helpful and relevant health + wellness information. Blood in the separated layers of the vessel wall can lead to blood clot formation. Your vertebral artery runs along the back of your neck and supplies your brain and spine with oxygen-rich blood. They most probably reflected stroke lesion-associated cognitive impairments whereas stroke mimics without any lesions did show normal scores. The senior age of VAD patients may have several important implications for social life. Otherwise, antithrombotic therapy was Neurosci Biobehav Rev. Their mixed series included about two third of patients with spontaneous internal carotid artery dissection (ICAD) and one third with VAD. The Neurological Institute is a leader in treating and researching the most complex neurological disorders and advancing innovations in neurology. Although functional outcome was good in the majority of their cases, the surprising main finding was a bad quality of life, measured by Stroke Specific Quality Of Life scale (SS-QOL) [7] despite of good functional outcome, scored by modified Rankin Scale (mRS) [8], in about 15% [5] to 30% of cases [6]. 3rd ed. Czechowsky D, Hill MD. The authors declare that they have no competing interests. Cervical artery dissection in patients >/=60 years: often painless, few mechanical triggers. Comparison of cognitive baseline profiles of the three groups revealed no significant differences. The challenging main consequence from our study regarding this older age group of VAD patients might be therefore for the treating physician to make the right decision: When to consider (re-)dissection stroke and when to consider neuropsychiatric sequelae, for example. Epub 2015 Jun 5. Eur Stroke J. volume19, Articlenumber:312 (2019) 1997;19(1):612. The latter one was also used to determine the functional outcome at follow-up, filled out by the patient. In accordance with common convention, mRS score of 02 reflects a good functional status meaning independency in daily living. Vertebral artery dissection (VAD) is a rare cause of stroke in the general population; however, represents one of the more common causes of stroke in patients younger than 45 years of age. For both future research and clinical treatment, our data favor a multidimensional monitoring after VAD, with special focus on neuropsychiatric sequelae. A dissection forms when theres a tear in one or more of its three tissue layers. Lee VH, Brown RD Jr, Mandrekar JN, Mokri B. Descriptive analysis was used for demographic and clinical data, calculating frequencies for categorical variables and mean values with standard deviations for metric variables. The following are key points to remember from this Viewpoint article on physical activity and exercise in patients with spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) and fibromuscular Among 24 stroke mimics only two patients (8.3%) with mRS 02 reported a bad quality of life in contrast to 20 patients (83.3%) with mRS 02. For the neuropsychological testing at baseline the longer established Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) [15] and the more sensitive Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) [23] were performed as cognitive screening tests in their German versions. Magnetic resonance angiography is a sophisticated test thats not widely available. Fischer et al. It can be induced by a particular head or neck posture; its early signs often include headache and neck pain. 1). 2009;8(7):66878. Anyone you share the following link with will be able to read this content: Sorry, a shareable link is not currently available for this article. Published data about the possible impact of stenosis or occlusion of dissected vertebral artery to outcome have been rare and inconsistent so far. 2013;94(12):253541. A better understanding of clinical courses and their affecting variables with special respect to the biopsychosocial model [12] seemed to be of great importance for the neurorehabilitation of such VAD patients in the future. In recent years, however, patient-centered outcome measures such as quality of life (QOL) gained increasing importance. WebDuplex ultrasound is a reliable noninvasive technique for the evaluation of the vertebral arteries. Google Scholar. Gttingen: Hogrefe Verlag; 2000. Because only three of them showed any signs of cognitive impairment, the authors argued that deficits were unlikely responsible for the reduced QOL. PubMed statement and Toschke AM, Tilling K, Cox AM, Rudd AG, Heuschmann PU, Wolfe CD. It has been already earlier demonstrated in both patients with stroke and patients with Parkinsons disease that the type of psychosocial alterations, psychosocial adaptation and coping strategies seem to be of much greater impact than the degree of physical impairment [56]. When starting the present study, however, the knowledge about the putative contributing role of cognitive as well as psycho-affective factors to QOL in VAD patients was lacking. The vertebral arteries have many small branches. Kiphuth IC, Utz KS, Noble AJ, Kohrmann M, Schenk T. Increased prevalence of posttraumatic stress disorder in patients after transient ischemic attack. There was a high responder rate in follow-up assessments: follow-up data were obtained in 97% of patients in group D, 100% in group I, and 96% in group M. Secondary ischemia prevention by medication until follow-up was provided by platelet aggregation inhibitors in 76.5% patients of group D and 81.6% of group I and oral anticoagulants in 23.5% patients of group D and 18.4% of group I. Vascular events of importance occurred until follow-up time point as follows: In group D one recurrent stroke, one suspected stroke, one new stroke due to dissection of the internal carotid artery, and one transient ischemic attack. It may also occur with sudden neck movements and trauma. Cerebrovasc Dis Extra. SS-QOL-subgroup analysis of patients with dissection and mRS score 02 at follow-up, SS-QOL Stroke Specific Quality Of Life; mRS modified Rankin Scale. Arch Phys Med Rehabil. You may need a procedure. VAD leads to impaired QOL at 6months follow-up due to multiple factors. Chien C, Chang FC, Huang HC, Tsai JY, Chung CP. The findings were in line with modern concepts of cerebellar cognitive function [44] and also in accordance to previous data on cognitive impairments in patients with cerebellar stroke lesions, for example by Exner et al. The post-traumatic stress syndrome 14-questions inventory (PTSS-14) - translation of the UK-PTSS-14 and validation of the German version. PubMed PubMed WebVertebral artery dissection occurs when a tear forms in one of the blood vessels running up the back of your neck. Hrting C, Markowitsch HJ, Neufeld H, Calabrese P, Deisinger K, Kessler J. WMS-R. Wechsler Gedchtnistest revidierte Fassung. Clinical assessment of data on hypertension (history or systolic arterial blood pressure>140mmHg or diastolic arterial blood pressure>90mmHg), diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia (LDL>155mg/dl and/or HDL<35mmHg), and atrial fibrillation was performed at baseline. The aim of this study was the multimodal analysis of patient characteristics after VAD to identify contributing factors. Another woman (47years old; locked in-syndrome due to pontine infarction by basilar artery occlusion due to vertebral artery dissection) and a man (77years old; dizziness, nausea, vomiting, headache, ataxia, facial weakness, dysarthria, dysphagia; combined medulla oblongata and cerebellar infarction) without a sufficient ability to speak for participating in neuropsychological testing. Cleveland Clinic is a non-profit academic medical center. Cervical artery dissection goes frequently undiagnosed. Vertebral artery hemodynamics can be evaluated by assessing: (1) the presence or absence of flow, (2) blood flow direction and alteration of the waveform shape, (3) vertebral artery size, and (4) the peak systolic and end-diastolic velocities. (2002) [5] obtained 0.33.8years after VAD follow-up data in 21 surviving patients who were retrospectively contacted. (2009) [6]. WebThe vertebral arteries are part of the circulatory system. 2006;66(4):5136. 2009;40(2):5306. Apart from the presence of ischemic stroke lesions in groups D and I, socio-demographic and clinical data of the three groups were without significant differences, as shown in Table1. (2014) [46] were the only other ones to date who recently published cognitive status data of patients after cervical artery dissection. The study protocol was approved by the Local Ethics Committee of the University of Bremen. A practical method for grading the cognitive state of patients for the clinician. The role of cognitive impairment in the quality of life after ischaemic stroke. California Privacy Statement, Vertebral artery dissections can be divided into two groups: extracranial dissection (with or without intracranial extension) intracranial dissection. 2014;76(9):6707. We present a case of spontaneous VAD in a patient whose only symptoms at presentation were neck pain and headache. Jokinen H, Kalska H, Mantyla R, Ylikoski R, Hietanen M, Pohjasvaara T, et al. All participants were informed about the procedure and gave written informed consent to participate in the study. Consequently, a valid and reliable evaluation of this variable as putative contributing factor appeared to be not adequately possible in our study: Besides the sample size being very small, it remains unclear how to operationalize best the vascular measurements such as (1) determination of grade/severity of stenosis and by which method (MRI or ultrasound), (2) length of stenosis or occlusion, or (3) site of stenosis (unilateral left or right, bilateral, additionally extra-vertebral). First of all, the study cohort showed an unusual high percentage of elderly VAD patients (mean age 62.611.9). Thus, reduced neurocognition and neurostatus at baseline and increased scoring levels for stress symptoms at follow-up were predictive for reduced quality of life at follow-up in patients with VAD in this regression model. Six patients died within 3 months, the remaining 108 were contacted after 2023 BioMed Central Ltd unless otherwise stated. Exclusion criteria were as follows: (1) VAD due to severe trauma - in contrast to conventionally as spontaneous labeled dissection due to minor prior cervical trauma which should be better termed mechanical trigger event according to Engelter et al. Stress revisited: a critical evaluation of the stress concept. The inclusion criteria were (1) a reliable diagnosis, (2) age between 18 and 85years, and (3)] medically stable psychological and physical condition for testing, i.e. Furthermore, some recently published data suggested for the first time a role of VAD-accompanied atherosclerosis as additional putative contributing factor to functional outcome at three months in posterior circulation stroke (PCS) patients [39]. 2004;251(10):12428. In earlier stages, you might not notice symptoms. The health-related quality of life after VAD was examined in a standardized manner for the first time in only two published studies [5, 6] in the last decade. The hospital anxiety and depression scale. The statistical data analyses were conducted using SPSS Statistics Version 22 and WinStat, Bad Krozingen. WebWhat is the life expectancy of someone with fibromuscular dysplasia? Over the last years, cervical artery dissection has been increasingly diagnosed due to improved neuroimaging methods [58]. Thirteen of 32 VAD patients (40.6%) rated QOL at follow-up as bad (SS-QOL score3.9) despite of good functional outcome (mRS score 02). Our data suggest that posttraumatic stress symptoms are of significant importance for the QOL after VAD, in particular in patients with reduced QOL despite good functional outcome. Later on, I began to have disturbances in my vision, ie. Old benefit as much as young patients with stroke from high-intensity neurorehabilitation: cohort analysis. Bruggimann L, Annoni JM, Staub F, von Steinbuchel N, Van der Linden M, Bogousslavsky J. You have two vertebral arteries that run along the back of your neck near your spine bones (vertebrae). Engel GL. Three cohorts of consecutive patients were included in the study for the purpose of comparison: group D (dissection) as the main group comprised patients with first-time spontaneous vertebral artery dissection (VAD) of at least one vertebral artery, group I (ischemia) as a positive control group consisted of patients with acute cerebral ischemia such as stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA) of the posterior circulation due to any other cause than dissection, and group M (mimics) was chosen as a negative control group of stroke mimics of the posterior circulation. Nasreddine ZS, Phillips NA, Bedirian V, Charbonneau S, Whitehead V, Collin I, et al. Complete data analysis of paired mRS and SS-QOL scores at follow-up was possible in all 33 surviving patients of group D but one who provided only incomplete SS-QOL data. Wahlund LO, Barkhof F, Fazekas F, Bronge L, Augustin M, Sjogren M, et al. Furthermore, cervical artery dissections in patients 60years are often painless and mechanical triggers missing [60]. Chronic posttraumatic stress symptoms after nonsevere stroke. Cerebrovasc Dis. Current recommendations for patients with FMD are to avoid resistance training during the first 8-12 weeks after acute carotid or vertebral artery dissections. Neurology. The mean group values of single tests as well as of CCS showed at least clear trends of stronger cognitive impairments in group D and group I patients than stroke mimics regarding the following cognitive domains: Divided and selective attention (TAP), combined attention and executive function (TMT A and B), mental rotation (LPS-7), and spatial cognitive function (FPT). Ischemic stroke was found in only 33.9%. They argued that a systematic follow-up of the vascular lesions may induce anxiety both in patients and physicians and lead to inappropriate treatments. (2015) [61] reported that older stroke patients in general have worse prestroke status, greater impairment on hospital admission, more comorbidities and poorer poststroke functional status than the younger patients but can benefit as much as the young from high-intensity neurorehabilitation. Depressive symptoms in stroke patients treated and non-treated with intravenous thrombolytic therapy: a 1-year follow-up study. Hemorrhagic stroke was found to result in a lower survival rate or lower level of functionality than ischemic stroke. Summary A 22-year-old male with no previous history of cardiovascular disease presented after a high-speed rollover motor vehicle collision. Depending from the availability of imaging techniques such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) angiography as well as the awareness of physicians VAD has been increasingly diagnosed in recent years. BMC Neurology Although specific information about overall life expectancy after aortic dissection repair is not available, a recent study from the International Registry of Acute Aortic Dissection reported that about 85% of patients who have undergone successful repair of acute dissection involving the ascending aorta remain alive at 5 years. The use of the German version in this study was authorized by their authors (pers. The elevated levels of stress symptoms after VAD in our study may be interpreted as maladaptive psychological state/condition. Part of Psychometric self-rating tools, as used in this study, may enable timely detection of such sequelae and facilitate therapeutic intervention. On rare occasions, this can lead to stroke. Preceding correlation analyses in this study yielded significant correlations in between all neurocognitive measures such as MMSE, MoCA, and CCS at baseline and likewise in between both neurostatus measures such as NIH-SS on admission and mRS at baseline. Two more men (46 and 56years old; one with bilateral embolic cerebellar and occipital brain infarctions by VAD plus ocular down-beat syndrome, unilateral motor dysfunction, dizziness, and headache; the other one with dizziness and ataxia due to suspected cerebral ischemia by VAD) wanted to cut their inpatient treatment short and not to participate but showed also contraindications in form of concurrent diseases: one developed bronchial carcinoma 4months later and brain metastases 8months later, then deceased, the other suffered from alcoholism and had a history of former bronchial carcinoma and prophylactic brain irradiation.

Neurology. In conclusion, VAD may significantly impair QOL at 6months follow-up by multiple factors. MMSE and MoCA inversely cross-correlated with NIH-SS scores in group D with weak significance, MoCA scoring with NIH-SS also significantly in group I, and MMSE scoring with NIH-SS only non-significantly in group I. Spontaneous dissection of the carotid and vertebral arteries. 88.2% of patients with VAD suffered from acute cerebral ischemia. MR signal abnormalities at 1.5 T in Alzheimer's dementia and normal aging. Gottwald B, Mihajlovic Z, Wilde B, Mehdorn HM. This is a procedure where a provider places catheters (long, thin tubes) in either your wrist or groin. Fischer U, Ledermann I, Nedeltchev K, Meier N, Gralla J, Sturzenegger M, et al. Elevated levels of posttraumatic stress symptoms, as evaluated by PTSS-14 scoring in our study, are in line with recent reports on the prevalence of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) after stroke, even after minor stroke [49] or transient ischemic attack [50]. Likewise, in concordance with the literature [5, 6, 36], functional outcome was good (mRS02) in the majority of patients (81.25%). Afterwards we developed a multivariate regression model using variables that have proven statistically significant at the univariate analysis at a significant level of 5% (p<0.05). Therefore, pathological alterations might have been either too subtle for detection, the applied neuropsychological tests not sensitive enough, or the study cohorts too heterogenous. It can also lead to swelling (dilation) of the artery. Magnetic resonance angiography is the gold standard diagnostic test. (2009) [6], mean age 46years, Czechowsky et al. (2009) [6] prospectively found 3793455days after event 30% patients with impaired SS-QOL scoring among 66% with favorable functional outcome (mRS01) in a mixed series including patients with VAD and patients with ICAD. The Montreal cognitive assessment, MoCA: a brief screening tool for mild cognitive impairment. But its still a dangerous situation. At least 90 percent of adults with FMD are women. Your two carotid arteries run along either side of your neck in the front. Disabil Rehabil. Monitoring typically includes magnetic resonance angiography every three to six months. This can lead to serious complications, including arterial narrowing (stenosis), weakening/bulging (aneurysm) or tearing (dissection). In contrast to younger people who are supported by their also young family as well as the health system to achieve occupational reintegration as fast as possible, elderly people may be limited by less easy access to rehabilitation facilities, less support by potentially also disabled caregivers and, probably most important, by potential comorbidities and/or neurovascular risk factors. Knecht et al. Types of stroke mimics were predominantly disorders of the vestibular system with vertigo or dizziness as main symptoms. The first data collection in each patient was performed at baseline (time point t1) in the acute phase in hospital after clinical stabilization: neuro-status at admission by National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIH-SS) score [18] according to patients records, neurostatus (mRS) and clinical data at baseline according to examination and interview, cognitive screening as well as extensive neuropsychological testing by battery at baseline, and administering self-rating protocols for symptoms of anxiety and depression pre-baseline as well as stroke-related QOL pre-baseline. It generates 12 domain-related scores and a total score. J Neurol. Individuals facing a higher risk of future dissection will need follow-up care for many years. Healthcare providers can often diagnose a vertebral artery dissection with a computed tomography (CT) scan or CT angiography. Cervical artery dissection: trauma and other potential mechanical trigger events. Their high PTSD prevalence might be overestimated because physically less affected people voluntarily participating in their study might have tended to mention more mental problems when asked by self-rating PDS. Therefore, mRS scoring of 02 at follow-up was used as a good functional outcome. Physical Activity and Exercise in Patients With Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection and Fibromuscular Dysplasia. The cut off in the German version is defined as a score of 40 points with a sensitivity of 82% and a good specificity of 92%. A 42-year Kissela et al. It provides seven scoring levels as follows: (0) no symptoms at all, (1) no significant disability despite symptoms, (2) slight disability, (3) moderate disability, (4) moderately severe disability, (5) severe disability, and (6) dead. Most of the time, ischemic stroke is due to atherosclerosis (thickening of the artery from other risk factors, such as smoking, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes). Web2. Mean values of mRS scoring improved from baseline to follow-up in all three groups but significantly only in group I. Twigg E, Humphris G, Jones C, Bramwell R, Griffiths RD. Neuropsychologia. Follow-up group comparison of variables of paired samples for changes over time was performed by using the Wilcoxon-test. We thank Dr. Werner Wosniok from the Institute of Statistics at the University of Bremen, Bremen, for his statistical advice. Vertebral artery dissection is a rare cause of stroke in older adults. PubMed Central Testbatterie zur Aufmerksamkeitsprfung (TAP) Version 2.2. 2005;1(1):5968. Springer Nature. This process usually occurs within the first three to six months. Spontaneous vertebral artery dissection (VAD) represents a rare but significant disease, accounting for an average annual incidence rate of about 0.97 to 1.5 cases per 100.000 population [1, 2]. Brain and intelligence: a quantitative study of the frontal lobes. You may face a higher risk of dissection if you have certain health conditions, including: Injury can also cause dissection. Cervical artery dissections typically heal very well, returning the vessel to normal. This process usually occurs within the first three to six months. Whats it like living with a cervical artery dissection? Youll need regular monitoring, including imaging studies, until healthcare providers confirm the dissection has healed.
