  • Title: Carotid Artery Dissection and Ischemic Stroke Originating from Localized Aortic Arch Dissection.
    Author: Kamimura T, Nomura E, Hara N, Maetani Y, Agari D, Ichimura K, Yoshida H, Yamawaki T.
    Journal: J Stroke Cerebrovasc Dis; 2016 Nov; 25(11):e209-e211. PubMed ID: 27612624.
    Abstract:
    Aortic dissection is an infrequent but important cause of acute ischemic stroke (AIS), and must not be overlooked because of a possible worse outcome, especially with the use of an intravenous recombinant tissue plasminogen activator. We report a case of left carotid artery dissection and AIS originating from localized aortic arch dissection, pathologically caused by cystic medial necrosis in the tunica media.
