Article Synopsis
- Spontaneous intracranial artery dissection is a rare but often missed cause of stroke, leading to complications like headaches, ischemic strokes, and subarachnoid hemorrhages, mainly affecting the brainstem.
- While less common in adults of European descent, it's more frequently seen in children and Asian populations; the exact causes and risk factors are not well understood, making diagnosis difficult due to the small size of the arteries involved.
- Treatment typically involves surgery or endovascular methods for subarachnoid hemorrhage, while those with ischemia are treated with antithrombotics; patients with hemorrhage have a worse prognosis than those without.
