Spontaneous cervical artery dissection in patients aged over 70 years: two cases and systematic literature review.

Objective: Spontaneous cervical artery dissection (CAD) is a cerebrovascular disease typically considered to affect the young population. Literature reports cases in the elderly only as incidental findings, making the diagnosis unlikely in older patients. Incidence and pathogeny in this specific population remain to be assessed.

Evaluation of the diagnostic performance of tomosynthesis in fractures of the wrist.

Objective: The purpose of our study was to define the diagnostic value of tomosynthesis compared with standard radiography and CT in wrist injuries.

Materials And Methods: One hundred consecutive patients with acute wrist trauma were investigated with standard radiography, tomosynthesis, and CT. Reference results were those obtained with CT; follow-up monitoring of the patients; and, in some cases, MRI (n=13).
