Traumatic Dissection of Arterial Cervical Vessels: Report of Two Cases and Literature Review
Dissecçāo arterial traumática de vasos craniocervicais: Relato de casos e revisāo da literatura
Abstract
Even though traumatic dissection of cervical arterial vessels is the major cause of stroke among adults, it is still an underdiagnosed disease in neurosurgical emergencies, since most patients do not have or present subtle clinical signs in the acute phase. The authors report two interesting cases of cervical artery dissection with different traumatic mechanisms and present a broad literature review about this subject.
Resumo
Embora a dissecçāo traumática de vasos cervicais seja um das principais causas de isquemia cerebral em adultos, ainda é um patologia subdiagnosticada nas emergências, uma vez que os pacientes sāo assintomáticos ou oligossintomáticos na fase aguda. Os autores descrevem dois casos interessantes de dissecçāo de artérias cervicais por diferentes mecanismos traumáticos, seguidos de ampla revisāo da literatura sobre o tema.
