Carotid And Vertebral Arteries

The aim of the study: to identify features of extracranial carotid and vertebral arteries vessel wall MRI in norm and pathology using layer-by-layer analysis of the arterial wall components. MRI results were compared at the same anatomical level with data of ultrasound examination of vertebral arteries in patients with giant cell arteritis and in health individuals. It was revealed that in normal arteries MRI signal from the vessel wall mainly formed by vascularized adventitia and venous plexuses. Media and intima visualization becomes possible in cases of their pathological transformation. Thus, it was defined which structures of the vessel wall take part in MRI signal forming in health individuals and patient with pathology. Also MRI patterns of different stages of large arteries vasculitis were identified.

AbstractCervical carotid and vertebral artery traumatic injuries can have a devastating natural history. This article reviews the epidemiology, mechanisms of injury, clinical presentation, and classification systems pertinent to consideration of endovascular treatment. The growing role of modern endovascular techniques for the treatment of these diseases is presented to equip endovascular surgeons with a framework for critically assessing patients presenting with traumatic cervical cerebrovascular injury.

Carotid And Vertebral Arteries

Spontaneous dissection of the major arteries of the neck is known to increase the risk of stroke or transient ischaemic attack in young and middle-aged adults. Most of the reported cases of arterial dissections in the neck involve one or both paired extracranial carotid or vertebral arteries. Spontaneous dissection of the bilateral internal carotid and vertebral arteries is extremely rare. We report a case of spontaneous bilateral internal carotid artery and vertebral artery dissection while using a prescribed pill for weight loss which contained amphetamine derivative. A review of literature is also provided.
