Internal carotid artery dissection coincides with celiac artery dissection

Noninvasive monitoring of internal carotid artery dissection.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Internal carotid artery dissection has increasingly been reported as a cause of transient ischemic attack or stroke. However, scarce data exist on the natural history of the arterial lesions and the temporal profile of recanalization. METHODS We followed 48 patients with 50 angiographically confirmed internal carotid artery dissections by sequential duplex Doppler studi...

Internal carotid artery dissection following rigid esophagoscopy.

A case of internal carotid artery dissection that developed after rigid esophagoscopy is described. The diagnosis was suggested by the clinical presentation and confirmed by the findings of radiological examinations. Internal carotid artery dissection is a rare condition of controversial etiology. Most frequently, the cause is unknown and the condition is termed idiopathic. A few cases have occ...

Spontaneous carotid artery dissection.

Spontaneous isolated celiac artery dissection

Dyspepsia with mild, stabbing epigastric discomfort without history of trauma is a very common symptom that emergency physicians see in their daily practice. Vascular emergencies, mostly the aortic dissection and aneurysm, are always described in the differential diagnosis with persistent symptoms. Isolated celiac artery dissection occurring spontaneously is a very rare diagnosis. The involveme...
