BACKGROUND Stroke in patients with acute cervical artery dissection may be anticipated by initial transient ischemic or nonischemic symptoms. AIM Identifying risk factors for delayed stroke upon cervical artery dissection. METHODS Cervical artery dissection patients from the multicenter Cervical Artery Dissection and Ischemic Stroke Patients study were classified as patients without stroke ...

A spontaneous coronary artery dissection as the sole presenting feature of vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndrome is an uncommon finding. We present a 33-year-old woman with sudden onset chest pain caused by dissection. Genetic testing revealed underlying cause. Specifically, we show value genetic testing, which in some patients may be only way establishing diagnosis.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE There is an uncertainty about the association between intracranial aneurysms and aortic dissection. We aimed to determine the prevalence of intracranial aneurysms in patients with aortic dissection and evaluate the independent risk factors for the presence of intracranial aneurysms in these patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS Seventy-one patients with a confirmed aortic dis...

Hands-on dissections of animals are traditionally regarded as an essential part biology education. Nowadays, regardless the reported educational benefits, there is a gradual change in concept and acceptance hands-on dissection, leading many cases to its abandonment schools replacement with alternatives such 3D models, figurines, plastination computer-based alternatives. However, position dissec...

Aortic dilatation and dissection are severe complications during pregnancy that can be fatal to both the mother and the fetus. The risks of these complications are especially high in pregnant patients with Marfan syndrome; however, incidents of descending aortic dissection are very rare. This case report involves a successful Bentall procedure for and recovery from a rare aortic dissection in a...

objectives: presence/absence of cervical lymph node metastasis plays a critical role in prognosis and survival of patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma (scc). this study was designed to assess the diagnostic accuracy of computed tomography (ct) scan for detection of cervical lymph node metastasis in oral scc in comparison with histopathological analysis after neck dissection methods: in th...

BACKGROUND The value of transesophageal echocardiography in the assessment of patients with aortic dissection was studied. METHODS AND RESULTS Group 1 (34 patients) represented all patients studied at our institution with this technique in whom aortic dissection was proven by aortography, surgery, or autopsy. Group 2 (27 patients) represented all patients studied with this technique at our in...
