Healthcare providers can often diagnose a vertebral artery dissection with a computed tomography (CT) scan or CT angiography. The type of cause for ischemia in the group I was categorized according to the TOAST criteria [14]. RJS contributed to the experimental design, neuropsychological testing, data acquisition, data analyses and manuscript writing. Consequently, a valid and reliable evaluation of this variable as putative contributing factor appeared to be not adequately possible in our study: Besides the sample size being very small, it remains unclear how to operationalize best the vascular measurements such as (1) determination of grade/severity of stenosis and by which method (MRI or ultrasound), (2) length of stenosis or occlusion, or (3) site of stenosis (unilateral left or right, bilateral, additionally extra-vertebral). Plank position (but otherwise safe to participate in yoga or Pilates). WebIf 3-month ultrasound follow up or MRA showed complete recanalization of the vertebral artery, antithrombotic therapy was stopped. PubMed Central Psychosom Med. Leys D, Debette S. Long-term outcome in patients with cervical-artery dissections: there is still a lot to know. PubMed Article (2014) [46] were the only other ones to date who recently published cognitive status data of patients after cervical artery dissection. This risk decreases over time. Subgroup analysis stratified for QOL by Stroke Specific Quality of Life Scale (SS-QOL) were done for patients with good functional outcome (modified Ranking Scale (mRS) scoring 02). Patient-specific recovery patterns over time measured by dependence in activities of daily living after stroke and post-stroke care: the South London Stroke Register (SLSR). The aim of this study Patients most commonly present with neck pain, headache, visual disturbance, or focal extremity weakness. The other variables showed no significant differences. Its more common in people younger than 45. Although specific information about overall life expectancy after aortic dissection repair is not available, a recent study from the International Registry of Acute Aortic Dissection reported that about 85% of patients who have undergone successful repair of acute dissection involving the ascending aorta remain alive at 5 years. Study participants were asked at follow-up to answer 14 items of the PTSS-14 inventory regarding stress symptoms in the previous week. (2009) [6]. Spontaneous dissection of the carotid and vertebral arteries. The multivariate analysis of 126 patients with carotid and vertebral artery dissections in a retrospective study design showed that the variables stroke and arterial occlusion were independent factors associated with a poor outcome [37]. The main findings were found in subgroup D (mRS 02) with bad QOL3.9 that were significantly higher mean values for premorbid anxiety symptoms (p=0.006) and stress symptoms at follow-up (p=0.002). Springer Nature remains neutral with regard to jurisdictional claims in published maps and institutional affiliations. Toschke AM, Tilling K, Cox AM, Rudd AG, Heuschmann PU, Wolfe CD. Bern: Verlag Hans Huber; 2000. Among 24 stroke mimics only two patients (8.3%) with mRS 02 reported a bad quality of life in contrast to 20 patients (83.3%) with mRS 02. In the trauma bay, he complained of chest pain and dyspnea. No individual persons personal details, images or videos are being used in this study. MRI of the brain was regularly performed as a standard procedure in patients with suspected stroke such as the participants in our study. Mean MoCA values of group D (24.24) and I (24.86), however, displayed slightly pathological scores. Every pathological result, that is a value below one standard deviation, in one of the nine above mentioned cognitive function test domains was transposed to a cognitive composite score for each individual for the purpose of interindividual comparison. Vertebral artery dissection: natural history, clinical features and therapeutic considerations. J Neurol Neurosurg Psychiatry. Vulnerability--a new view of schizophrenia. In general, various factors have been shown to influence the QOL of patients after stroke without dissection, including post-stroke anxiety [9], depression [10] and cognitive impairment [11]. Fischer et al. 2008;52(2):2028. All patients presented with acute myocardial infarction (MI) (26% ST-segment elevation MI [STEMI], 74% NSTEMI) and approximately 70% reported an emotional or physical stressor. Engel GL. 2023 BioMed Central Ltd unless otherwise stated. Zigmond AS, Snaith RP. Kissela B, Lindsell CJ, Kleindorfer D, Alwell K, Moomaw CJ, Woo D, et al. Three cohorts of consecutive patients were included in the study for the purpose of comparison: group D (dissection) as the main group comprised patients with first-time spontaneous vertebral artery dissection (VAD) of at least one vertebral artery, group I (ischemia) as a positive control group consisted of patients with acute cerebral ischemia such as stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA) of the posterior circulation due to any other cause than dissection, and group M (mimics) was chosen as a negative control group of stroke mimics of the posterior circulation. Factors affecting the quality of life after ischemic stroke: young versus old patients. Stroke. (2009) [6] prospectively found 3793455days after event 30% patients with impaired SS-QOL scoring among 66% with favorable functional outcome (mRS01) in a mixed series including patients with VAD and patients with ICAD. Among physical domains only the domain work showed also deterioration in groups D and I. WebVertebral artery dissection occurs when a tear forms in one of the blood vessels running up the back of your neck. Vertebral artery dissection (VAD) may cause cerebral ischemia and impair quality of life (QOL) despite of good functional outcome. Your vertebral artery runs along the back of your neck and supplies your brain and spine with oxygen-rich blood. Mean values of mRS scoring improved from baseline to follow-up in all three groups but significantly only in group I. Differential features of carotid and vertebral artery dissections: the CADISP study. It was only asked for affective symptoms of anxiety and depression pre-baseline and at follow-up there has been only exploration for stress symptoms but not for symptoms of anxiety and depression. But timely treatment, typically blood thinners or a procedure, can save your life. This can lead to serious complications, including arterial narrowing (stenosis), weakening/bulging (aneurysm) or tearing (dissection). Konrad C, Muller GA, Langer C, Kuhlenbaumer G, Berger K, Nabavi DG, et al. All participants were informed about the procedure and gave written informed consent to participate in the study. Czechowsky D, Hill MD. Tedesco AM, Chiricozzi FR, Clausi S, Lupo M, Molinari M, Leggio MG. Vertebral and carotid artery dissections account for only 2% of ischemic strokes. They included benign paroxysmal positional vertigo in 40%, vestibular neuritis in 24%, vestibulocochlear irritation in 4%, Schwannoma in 4%, suspected somatoform dizziness in 8% and nonspecific dizziness of unknown origin in 16%. A better understanding of clinical courses and their affecting variables with special respect to the biopsychosocial model [12] seemed to be of great importance for the neurorehabilitation of such VAD patients in the future. Risk factors and clinical presentation of craniocervical arterial dissection: a prospective study. Craniocervical artery dissection is a potentially disabling yet probably underrecognized condition that often occurs in young and middle-aged adults. Kwa VI, Limburg M, de Haan RJ. The mini-mental state examination and Montreal cognitive assessment in persons with mild subacute stroke: relationship to functional outcome. Corresponding to their multivariate analysis, the NIH-SS score on admission was also found to be an independent predictor of QOL at follow-up in our univariate regression analysis. Likewise, mean values of pre-baseline total QOL were not significantly different. Grond-Ginsbach et al. Article Furthermore, some recently published data suggested for the first time a role of VAD-accompanied atherosclerosis as additional putative contributing factor to functional outcome at three months in posterior circulation stroke (PCS) patients [39]. The functional outcome, however, seems to be usually good in the majority of cases but there is still a lack of knowledge about the natural history of VAD and uncertainty concerning the appropriate follow-up management. While there were in groups D and I compared to group M frequent impairments in both global screening tests (MMSE, MoCA) and in single cognitive function tests of the neuropsychological test battery (Additionalfile1) and also in the resulting cognitive composite score (CCS), this difference reached statistical significance only in the MoCA assessment for group D compared to group M (Table2). Vertebral artery dissection: presenting findings and predictors of outcome. If the artery ruptures or a blood clot disrupts blood flow to your brain, you may experience signs of a stroke. Auflage. The aim of this study was therefore as follows: (1) to evaluate the characteristics of patients after VAD with special focus on those with bad quality of life despite good functional outcome in comparison with positive and negative control patients in a prospective comparative study design (2); to identify contributing factors to quality of life after VAD, considering neurological, cognitive, and psychological variables (3); to identify the predictive factors for quality of life after VAD. 2005;1(1):5968. Otherwise, antithrombotic therapy was 2013;94(12):253541. Even if WML predominated in groups D and I compared to stroke mimics, they showed no significant inter-group difference. Your two carotid arteries run along either side of your neck in the front. Ahl B, Bokemeyer M, Ennen JC, Kohlmetz C, Becker H, Weissenborn K. Dissection of the brain supplying arteries over the life span. (2018) [38] reported more recently in their observational cohort study on patients with cervical, mainly carotid artery dissection, that numerically, but not statistically significant more patients with combined endovascular therapy (EVT)/intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) had excellent outcome and arterial recanalization than patients treated with EVT only. What is the life expectance after successful repair of aortic 1989;20(7):86470. The diagnosis of VAD was based on typical findings such as intramural hematoma on axial cervical MRI, or string sign or long tapering stenosis on computer tomography (CT) / MRI angiography in accordance to Rodallec et al. volume19, Articlenumber:312 (2019) Thus, reduced neurocognition and neurostatus at baseline and increased scoring levels for stress symptoms at follow-up were predictive for reduced quality of life at follow-up in patients with VAD in this regression model. Advertising on our site helps support our mission. Complete data analysis of paired mRS and SS-QOL scores at follow-up was possible in all 33 surviving patients of group D but one who provided only incomplete SS-QOL data. Folstein MF, Folstein SE, McHugh PR. (2015) [61] reported that older stroke patients in general have worse prestroke status, greater impairment on hospital admission, more comorbidities and poorer poststroke functional status than the younger patients but can benefit as much as the young from high-intensity neurorehabilitation. Other published data remained inconsistent. This process usually occurs within the first three to six months. PubMedGoogle Scholar. Cervicocerebral artery dissection (CAD) is an important and under-recognized cause of strokes in young and middle-aged patients. (2008) [55], for example, prospectively studied 105 subarachnoid hemorrhage patients at 3 and 13months post-ictus and found that 37 % met the diagnostic criteria of PTSD. We present a case of spontaneous VAD in a patient whose only symptoms at presentation were neck pain and headache. Cervical artery dissection, including VAD and carotid artery dissection, are rare complications of pregnancy. WebScore: 4.2/5 (61 votes) . CAS Therefore, mRS scoring of 02 at follow-up was used as a good functional outcome. Stroke. 2010;45(1112):68895. Introduction: Vertebral artery dissection (VAD) is a common cause of stroke in young and mid-aged adults without predisposing risk factors for vascular disease. The hospital anxiety and depression scale. Other activities with rapid acceleration/deceleration changes. Quality of life in survivors after cervical artery dissection. Spearmans rank correlation analysis yielded a highly significant correlation (p<0.001) between all three cognitive scoring systems (MMSE, MoCA, and CCS). Importantly, our study cohort of VAD patients appeared to be not significantly biased by exclusion of eight patients, whose features and mean age of 64.5years widely resembled those of the study group. The first data collection in each patient was performed at baseline (time point t1) in the acute phase in hospital after clinical stabilization: neuro-status at admission by National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIH-SS) score [18] according to patients records, neurostatus (mRS) and clinical data at baseline according to examination and interview, cognitive screening as well as extensive neuropsychological testing by battery at baseline, and administering self-rating protocols for symptoms of anxiety and depression pre-baseline as well as stroke-related QOL pre-baseline. Herzogenrath: Vera Fimm; 2009. MMSE and MoCA inversely cross-correlated with NIH-SS scores in group D with weak significance, MoCA scoring with NIH-SS also significantly in group I, and MMSE scoring with NIH-SS only non-significantly in group I. Rainer J. Strege. The majority of dissected arteries showed (subtotal) occlusion (n=25; 67.6%) or stenosis (n=8; 21.6%), the remaining ones no stenosis at all (n=4, 10.8%). They were almost 20years older than in other large study samples ( [3], mean age 439 [57], mean age 41.19.9]. Neurosurgery. The vertebral artery provides 20% of blood flow to your brain (the carotid artery supplies the other 80%). Neurology. I was unable to return to work for three months. Third, apart from elevated scores of stress symptoms significantly lower scores of the SS-QOL item self-confidence within the domain mood were found at follow-up. Privacy PubMed Gottwald B, Mihajlovic Z, Wilde B, Mehdorn HM. The mean decrease of QOL, that is the difference of SS-QOL scoring, from pre-baseline to follow-up, was significantly stronger in the subgroups (mRS 02) with bad quality of life (SS-QOL3.9). Epub 2015 Jun 5. Classification of subtype of acute ischemic stroke. The statistical data analyses were conducted using SPSS Statistics Version 22 and WinStat, Bad Krozingen. Furthermore, by multiple regression analysis, they were no predictors of QOL variance of VAD patients at follow-up. Blood in the separated layers of the vessel wall can lead to blood clot formation. They finally hypothesized that the rate of incidence must be equal throughout life. Contributing factors to quality of life after vertebral artery dissection: a prospective comparative study. 37 patients fulfilled the inclusion criteria and were included into the study as group D. In addition, 38 patients with acute stroke or TIA of the posterior circulation were included as comparison group I and 27 stroke mimics of the posterior circulation as comparison group M (Fig. Previous Testbatterie zur Aufmerksamkeitsprfung (TAP) Version 2.2. Source Reference: Markus H, et al "Antiplatelet therapy vs anticoagulation therapy in cervical artery dissection: the Cervical Artery Dissection in Stroke Study The cut off in the German version is defined as a score of 40 points with a sensitivity of 82% and a good specificity of 92%. At first I just had a very bad neck pain, couldn't move it much. Terms and Conditions, First of all, the study cohort showed an unusual high percentage of elderly VAD patients (mean age 62.611.9). Antiplatelet treatment compared with anticoagulation treatment for cervical artery dissection (CADISS): a randomised trial. 2. The cerebellar cognitive profile. Gttingen: Hogrefe Verlag; 2000. Thirteen of 32 VAD patients (40.6%) rated QOL at follow-up as bad (SS-QOL score3.9) despite of good functional outcome (mRS score 02). They most probably reflected stroke lesion-associated cognitive impairments whereas stroke mimics without any lesions did show normal scores. Stroke. Finally, additional potential outcome-relevant lifestyle-factors such as nutrition and sports activity as well as social factors such as social networks and social support were not taken into account of this study. Cerebrovasc Dis. Anyone you share the following link with will be able to read this content: Sorry, a shareable link is not currently available for this article. A dissection forms when theres a tear in one or more of its three tissue layers. BMC Neurol 19, 312 (2019). Likewise, there was no statistical group difference of the mean values of the total quality of life score measured by SS-QOL. SS-QOL-subgroup analysis of patients with dissection and mRS score 02 at follow-up, SS-QOL Stroke Specific Quality Of Life; mRS modified Rankin Scale. Article The prevalence of 73.6% VAD patients with ischemic stroke and 14.7% with TIA in our study corresponded well to 67% (114 patients) and 10% (17 patients), respectively, in a large European multicenter prospective study on patients with first-ever spontaneous VAD [3]. Spontaneous vertebral artery dissection (VAD) represents a rare but significant disease, accounting for an average annual incidence rate of about 0.97 to 1.5 3rd ed. Vertebral artery dissections can be divided into two groups: extracranial dissection (with or without intracranial extension) intracranial dissection. The findings were in line with modern concepts of cerebellar cognitive function [44] and also in accordance to previous data on cognitive impairments in patients with cerebellar stroke lesions, for example by Exner et al. A dissection is a tear in one or more tissue layers that make up your vertebral artery. Not applicable. Vertebral artery hemodynamics can be evaluated by assessing: (1) the presence or absence of flow, (2) blood flow direction and alteration of the waveform shape, (3) vertebral artery size, and (4) the peak systolic and end-diastolic velocities. Toglia J, Fitzgerald KA, O'Dell MW, Mastrogiovanni AR, Lin CD. (2005) [41], for example, noted a correlation of the degree of WML with cognitive decline. In five patients (15.1%) of group D, however, PTSS-14 scoring was >40, indicating possible posttraumatic stress disorder. Group D only displayed a significant lower mean value than groups I and M in the domain social roles. Symptomatic intracranial vertebral artery atherosclerotic stenosis (>/=70%) with concurrent contralateral vertebral atherosclerotic diseases in 88 patients treated with the intracranial stenting. Psychol Assess. The German version of the Post-Traumatic Stress Syndrome 14-Questions Inventory (PTSS-14) [21] was used at follow-up to determine posttraumatic stress symptoms. Vertebral artery dissection (VAD) is an increasingly recognized cause of stroke in patients younger than 45 years. Arch Phys Med Rehabil. Likewise, functional impairment measured by mRS at follow-up significantly correlated with reduced SS-QOL at follow-up in concordance with the results of the mixed cervical artery dissection series of Fischer et al. A summary score of 4.0 was considered to indicate good QOL, a score3.9 bad QOL in accordance with Fisher et al. When starting the present study, however, the knowledge about the putative contributing role of cognitive as well as psycho-affective factors to QOL in VAD patients was lacking. You can still exercise but should avoid the following: Vertebral artery dissection occurs when a tear forms in one of the blood vessels running up the back of your neck. Lower scores of both global screening systems, MMSE and MoCA, were independent negative predictors for QOL at follow-up in univariate regression analysis. Later on, I began to have disturbances in my vision, ie. Neurology. Neuropsychologia. Differences in baseline or follow-up characteristics between the three groups (D, I, M) were analyzed with Chi-square tests for categorical and with Kruskal-Wallis-test (H-test) for metric variables. 2018;3(1):4756. Data about pathological results of neuropsychological test battery assessment. Ischemic stroke was found in only 33.9%. No further differences were found in the other domains. Depending from the availability of imaging techniques such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) angiography as well as the awareness of physicians VAD has been increasingly diagnosed in recent years. Cervical artery dissection goes frequently undiagnosed. Their series comprised physically less affected patients, two-third after ICAD and one-third after VAD, with ischemic stroke in form of mainly small lesions in about one-third of cases only. VAD affected the right side in 13 patients (38.2%), the left side in 18 patients (53%), and both sides in three patients (8.8%). Measurements of acute cerebral infarction: a clinical examination scale. grading of atherosclerosis and at which site, has to be further clarified and addressed by future studies of larger sample volumes. Nearly all other potential contributing factors were not significantly different. PubMed The higher the score the more probable is a posttraumatic disorder. For more extensive testing, a neuropsychological test battery was used with cognitive tasks of nine cognitive domains with possible reference to cognitive functions of the anatomical structures of the posterior circulation, in particular the cerebellum. Speck et al. Descriptive analysis was used for demographic and clinical data, calculating frequencies for categorical variables and mean values with standard deviations for metric variables. (3) The upper inclusion limit of age range for our study was quite high with 85years. (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2588305/). Gttingen: Hogrefe Verlag; 1983. About 40% of patients die immediately from complete rupture and bleeding out from the aorta. Coping with chronic neurological impairment: a contrastive analysis of Parkinson's disease and stroke. While SS-QOL at follow-up was normal and corresponded to pre-baseline in stroke mimics, SS-QOL scores significantly worsened in group D and I patients, mainly in the psychosocial domains. 2018;265(8):18919. Because of the great The importance of posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTSS) for QOL in our VAD patients was a new finding and further stressed by our subgroup analysis as follows. Neurorehabil Neural Repair. Five patients were excluded from the dissection study group after screening according to the inclusion/exclusion study criteria: One woman (70years old; ataxia, dizziness, facial weakness; medulla oblongata infarction by vertebral artery occlusion suspicious for but not yet proven dissection) deceased due to unexpected cardiopulmonary failure not otherwise specified in the acute phase. Subgroup-analyses were calculated for patients with mRS 02 and SS-QOL4.0 versus those with mRS 02 and SS-QOL3.9. White matter hyperintensities as a predictor of neuropsychological deficits post-stroke. PubMed Eur J Neurol. 1993;24(1):3541. Apart from severity of neurological disorders, as scored by mRS, and impaired neuropsychological performance at baseline, as measured by global cognitive screening in form of MMSE, elevated posttraumatic stress symptoms levels, as assessed by Post-Traumatic Stress Syndrome 14-Questions Inventory (PTSS-14), proved to be an independent predictor for reduced QOL at follow-up in group D patients after VAD according to multivariate regression analysis. However, vertebral artery dissection is a common cause of stroke in young and middle-aged adults. (2001) [34]. Afterwards we developed a multivariate regression model using variables that have proven statistically significant at the univariate analysis at a significant level of 5% (p<0.05). Cervical artery dissection is commonly considered to be underdiagnosed [3, 57,58,59]. Most patients achieved good QOL (SS-QOL4.0) at 6months follow-up in group I (68.4%) and even better in group M (87.5%) in contrast with group D (46.9%) (Table2). Policy. The cumulative survival rate among all types of stroke in this study was found to be 48% at five years.

They found 81% with good functional outcome (mRS02) but only 66.6% with good SS-QOL scoring. Dziewas R, Konrad C, Drager B, Evers S, Besselmann M, Ludemann P, et al. Fourth, maladaptive coping strategies were significant predictors for and associated with posttraumatic stress disorder in patients with cervical artery dissection in the study of Speck et al. VAD leads to impaired QOL at 6months follow-up due to multiple factors. You have two vertebral arteries that run along the back of your neck near your spine bones (vertebrae). Old benefit as much as young patients with stroke from high-intensity neurorehabilitation: cohort analysis. Psychometric self-rating tools, as used in this study, may enable timely detection of such sequelae and facilitate therapeutic intervention.

A vertebral artery dissection is not what youd expect at 35 years young. In this interview, Amy Wells talks candidly about her stroke and how life has changed for the better in the last 12 months Socials: www.instagram.com/aimzwells/ When tics cause The aim of this study was the multimodal analysis of patient characteristics after VAD to identify contributing factors. Multimodal assessment was performed for clinical, neurological, cognitive, psychological and radiological data at baseline and for QOL, functional outcome, and stress symptoms by questionnaire at six months follow-up. Chicago: University of Chicago Press; 1947. Horn W. L-P-S Leistungsprfsystem. Hemorrhagic stroke was found to result in a lower survival rate or lower level of functionality than ischemic stroke. Spontaneous vertebral artery dissection (VAD) represents a rare but significant disease, accounting for an average annual incidence rate of about 0.97 to 1.5 cases per 100.000 population [1, 2]. Get useful, helpful and relevant health + wellness information. Cerebrovasc Dis Extra. Adding one additional base point in all individuals our self-constructed cognitive composite score (CCS) showed a range from score 1=normal to 10=completely pathological.
