Abstract:
The vertebral artery dissection may be associated with the structural abnormalities of vascular wall or enviromental factors.The symptoms are usually caused by the luminal stenosis or the formation of blood clot,including the pain in posterior neck or mastoid region with local neurological deficits.The diagnostic methods for vertebral artery dissection include digital subtraction angiogaphy,magnetic resonance imaging,CT angiograpby and color Doppler ultrasonography.Anticoagulation is the main treatment option for most patients with vertebral artery dissection.
