Stroke prevention and treatment in patients with spontaneous carotid dissection

  • Conference paper
Changing Aspects in Stroke Surgery: Aneurysms, Dissections, Moyamoya Angiopathy and EC-IC Bypass

Part of the book series: Acta Neurochirurgica Supplements ((NEUROCHIRURGICA,volume 103))

Abstract

This review on spontaneous dissection of the internal carotid artery (sICAD) will discuss in the first part stroke prevention and focus on vascular risk factors, antithrombotic therapy, and treatment of severe stenosis or occlusion, and dissecting aneurysm. The second part of the review will summarize the treatment of acute ischemic stroke due to sICAD.
